English Coordinate Constructions : A Processing Perspective on Constituent Order Paperback / softback
by Arne (Universitat Wien, Austria) Lohmann
Part of the Studies in English Language series
Paperback / softback
Description
Drawing on extensive corpus-based research, this book explores the nature and behavior of coordinate constructions in three case studies, covering order in copulative compounds, binomials (bare phrases), and more complex phrases.
Historically, research on order in coordination has concentrated on so-called irreversible binomials, but Lohmann's research places significant focus on reversible ad hoc coordination and also presents a detailed comparison between irreversible and reversible binomials.
This book uses empirical analyses to explore a wide range of factors, ranging from pragmatic to phonetic influences on the ordering process.
It also offers readers a processing perspective on the results obtained, and puts forth a processing explanation for the characteristics of irreversible binomials.
The book is ideal for researchers and advanced students working in English linguistics, syntax and psycholinguistics, and due to the multifactorial methodology applied it will be of particular interest to quantitatively minded corpus linguists.
