Dear colleagues
A week ago I posted a query (Linguist 14.760) concerning literature on the construction exemplified in (1). (1) a. He can trick the doctor into giving him an alibi. (BNC:FF0) b. They were forced into formulating an opinion. (BNC:CF4) c. He talked me into staying two more days. (BNC:CCW) As a result, I received the following references: Alsina, Alex. 1996 ''Resultatives: A Joint Operation of Semantic and Syntactic Structures.'' Paper presented at the LFG Workshop, Grenoble, France. Rudanko, Juhani. 1996. Prepositions and Complement Clauses. Albany: State University of New York Press. Khalifa, Jean-Charles. 1999. La Syntaxe anglaise aux consours. Armand Colin Rudanko, Juhani. 2000. Corpora and Complementation. Lanham, New York, Oxford: University Press of America. (esp. Ch. 5) Rudanko, Juhani. 2001 ''Into -ing as a construction in English'' Paper presented at the 1st Construction Grammar Conference in 2001. Rudanko, Juhani. 2002. ''Construction Grammar and Linguistic Productivity: A Case Study Based on Corpus Evidence.'' Paper given at the AAACL in Indianapolis. Rudanko, Juhani .2002. Complements and Constructions: Corpus-Based Studies on Sentential Complements in English in Recent Centuries. Lanham, Maryland: University Press of America. Also, I was informed of the Collins Cobuild Grammar Patterns: 1: Verbs (Section 17, pp 396-398), where this construction/pattern is classified into 5 different meaning groups: 1) Force: badger, blackmail, bludgeon, bounce, brainwash, browbeat, bulldoze, bully, chivvy, coerce, co-opt, cow, dragoon, force, frighten, goad, intimidate, manipulate, nag, panic, press, press-gang, pressure, pressurize, prod, provoke, push, railroad, scare, shock, stampede, steamroller, talk, terrify. 2) Trick: con, deceive, delude. dupe, entrap, fool, hoodwink, inveigle, lure, mislead, sucker, trap, trick. 3) Charm: beguile, bribe, cajole, charm, coax, entice, flatter, sweet talk, tempt. 4) Spur: galvanize, jolt, lead, nudge, persuade, propel, seduce, spur, steer, stimulate, stir, tempt. 5) Other: chasten, condition, embarrass, lull, manoeuvre, rush, shame, sidetrack. I thank the following contributors for their advice (in alphabetical order): Cristiano Brocchias Heidi Harley Jean-Charles Khalifa Anna Korhonen Andrew Moody Juhani Rudanko John Swales L.
