Dear colleagues,
I am looking for references on (multivariate) corpus studies of word order alternations. I know of previous corpus research on:
·
heavy NP shift in English (by Wasow)
·
particle placement with phrasal verbs in English (Gries, Cappelle)
·
relative ordering of prenominal adjectives in English (Wulff)
·
free placement of auxiliary and past participle in verb clusters in Dutch (De Sutter)
·
relative placement of pronominal direct and indirect objects in German (Heylen)
·
extraposition of PPs in Dutch and German (Jansen, De Sutter & Van de Velde)
I am particularly interested in references to (a) other types of word order alternations, (b) other languages than English, German and Dutch, (c) other types of data than standard
language (e.g. dialects and historical data).
Thank you for your response!
Kind regards,
