Multifactorial Analysis in Corpus Linguistics by Stefan Thomas Gries, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book presents a new analysis of the word-order alternation of English transitive phrasal verbs (aka Particle Movement) from a cognitive-functional and psycholinguistic perspective. Its main objective, however, is a methodological one, namely to demonstrate the superiority of corpus-based, multifactorial and probabilistic approaches towards grammatical phenomena over traditional analyses based on acceptability judgements and minimal pair tests. | Multifactorial Analysis in Corpus Linguistics by Stefan Thomas Gries, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
