Other transitive verbs like advance, contest, contradict, endorse, highlight, moot, pose, put forward, propound, uncover are not supposed to take that-clauses, and by and large in the pre-2000 corpora they don't. Instead such verbs take a nominal object, one form of which can be a ‘shell noun’ (abstracts like fact, claim, argument, situation) with a that-clause as complement of the noun, a construction referred here to as ‘shell +that’. Both a simple NP and an NP containing a that-clause are illustrated in (2): (2) And I think Lord Scarman's right to highlight the era of human rights and the fact that the police are the key institution in our society (DCPSE) In recent English, simple that-clause complements are spreading to such verbs in the active, (3) (3) a.

The renowned Millennium Ecosystem Assessment [...] highlights that coasts are the most highly degraded ecosystems on our planet. (2005, COHA) In this paper I explore data from COHA bearing on the development from shell + that to V + that, discussing the difficulties of getting reliable evidence. The topic also raises a tricky problem for corpus linguists, namely whether it is ever legitimate to talk of native speakers not being in full control of some registers of their own language.

Wh-ever clauses are discussed as constructions with multiple variable slots: a wh-ever connective lexeme, an adjective or noun phrase, and a variable verb slot. The main focus of the analysis is on the variation of the verb form: finite verb forms, deontic modals, and verb ellipses occur with varying frequency depending on the wh-ever connective. In particular, the potential for structural reduction in the use of the verbless form is discussed in the context of Construction Grammar. The examination of wh-ever clauses shows that in addition to these structural characteristics of the verb phrase, the pragmatic scope of wh-ever clauses can be observed to extend to the discourse level. It is argued that wh-ever clause constructions can be described at different levels of specificity within a constructional hierarchy: frequency analyses suggest constructions both at a schematic level - with multiple variable slots - and at a more specific level - with fixed lexical elements.","PeriodicalId":214537,"journal":{"name":"Subordination in English","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116933936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
