| Summary: |
A few days ago I posted a query about published sources for relative
frequencies of word order types (SVO, passive, etc.) in English. I would like to thank Joe Hilferty, Michaele Smith, and Marcus Callies for their helpful responses. In fact, there are two relevant recent publications, both downloadable from web pages: http://crl.ucsd.edu/newsletter/back-issues.html Dick, Frederic & Jeffrey L. Elman. 2001. The Frequency of Major Sentence Types over Discourse Levels: A Corpus Analysis. (February 2001 Vol. 13, No. 1). and de Haan, Pieter and Oostdijk, Nelleke (1994), ''Clause Patterns in Modern British English: A Corpus-Based (Quantitative) Study'', in ICAME Journal 18, 41-79. http://www.hd.uib.no/icame/ij18/dehaan.pdf - fritz newmeyer |
