Book Synopsis Corpora and Complementation by : Martti Juhani Rudanko
Book excerpt: Investigates the system of English predicate complementation over the last three centuries. Chapters shed light on central parts of the system, involving matrix nouns, adjectives, and verbs that select complement clauses. Synchronic and diachronic corpora of the language serve as essential sources of data. Three chapters examine variation between two types of complements introduced by the word to. Other chapters deal with the into -ing pattern, adjectives from two semantic domains, and sentential complements of negative verbs of avoiding, failing, and refraining.
