Passivisability of English periphrastic causatives
Causatives in English and other languages display differences in passivisability. In line with e.g. Rice (1987) it is argued that this variation is due to different degrees of semantic transitivity. Transitivity is defined in terms of Hopper and Thompson’s (1980) parameters, modified in the light of typological research on causatives. The British National Corpus was used to obtain examples of b...

However, complication arises with the possibility of having a cluster of auxiliary verbs in the C position or leaving a VP (or remnants) after the subject. In this pap...
متن کاملWhy are olfactory systems of different animals so similar?
As we learn more about the neurobiology of olfaction, it is becoming increasingly clear that olfactory systems of animals in disparate phyla possess many striking features in common. Why? Do these features provide clues about the ways the nervous system processes olfactory information? This might be the case if these commonalities are convergent adaptations that serve similar functions, but sim...
متن کاملA Corpus-Driven Approach to English Expressions Based on Comparison: Not so Much A as B and Not so Much A but B

Based on a corpus-driven approach, this paper focuses on not so much A as/bu...
