It investigates the productivity of the pattern, the spread of the construction in Modern English, and looks into text type-specific preferences for the construction. On a more abstract level, it combines the corpus-based description of mediopassive constructions with cognitive linguistic models, drawing largely on notions such as ?prototype?, ?family resemblances?, ?patch? and ?construction?. The theoretical modelling is largely based on data from real texts. These come from publicly available machine-readable corpora, text-databases and a single-register ?corpus? (American mail-order catalogues). The study combines the corpus-based approach with cognitive theories and is therefore of interest to both empirical and theoretical linguists. 410 0$aLanguage and computers ;$vno. 58. 606 $aComputational linguistics 606 $aEnglish language$xData processing$xResearch 606 $aEnglish language$xVerb phrase 606 $aEnglish language$xVoice 615 0$aComputational linguistics. 615 0$aEnglish language$xData processing$xResearch. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVerb phrase. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVoice. 676 $a425 700 $aHundt$b Marianne$01607032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823843803321 996 $aEnglish mediopassive constructions$93968208 997 $aUNINA
