商品簡介
Utilizing data from the Bank of English Corpus--an electronic corpus of some 600 million works--Rudanko (English, U. of Tampere, Finland) and Luodes (German, U. of Tampere, Finland) examine a number of core patterns of sentential complementation, as exemplified in newspaper and spoken British and American English. Seven patterns are discussed; transitive verbs selecting into -ing complements, transitive verbs selecting out of -ing complements, intransitive verbs selecting on -ing complements, adjectives selecting to infinitive and to -ing complements, intransitive verbs selecting to infinitive and to -ing complements, nouns selecting to infinitive and to -ing complements, and intrasitive verbs selecting towards/toward -ing.
