This paper introduces a previously undiscussed English construction, termed the make us difficult
construction. Examples of the construction are presented, from the International Corpus of English and the
Corpus of Global Web-Based English, and a quantitative analysis is conducted of the construction’s text
frequency and variant rates. Quantitative data on specific usage patterns is employed to inform an analysis of the construction
and its productivity, and recommendations are made for future research.
期刊介绍:
English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
