Summary

The objective of this work is to demonstrate the superiority of corpus-based, multifactorial and probabilistic approaches towards grammatical phenomena over traditional analyses based on acceptability judgements and minimal pair tests.

Multifactorial Analysis in Corpus Linguistics Summary

Multifactorial Analysis in Corpus Linguistics: A Study of Particle Placement by Stefan Thomas Gries

This title presents an analysis of the word-order alternation of English transitive phrasal verbs (particle movement) from a cognitive-functional and psycholinguistic perspective. Its main objective, however, is a methodological one, namely to demonstrate the superiority of corpus-based, multifactorial and probabilistic approaches towards grammatical phenomena over traditional analyses based on acceptability judgements and minimal pair tests.
