  • Changes in transitivity and reflexive uses of sit (me/myself down) in Early and Late Modern English

    2020. Turo Vartiainen, Mikko Höglund. Corpora and the Changing Society, 277-302

    Kapitel

    This chapter seeks to establish if the Transitivity Hypothesis (Hopper & Thompson 1980) can explain the variation in the use of two reflexive strategies with the verb sit in Early Modern English (e.g. I sat me down/I sat myself down) and the verb’s subsequent transitivization (e.g. he sat me down). By studying data from large historical corpora, we will re-evaluate the results of earlier research and establish why sit continued to be used with the simple reflexive strategy (i.e. with object pronouns) until the Late Modern period. In our analysis of the transitivization of sit (down), we focus on both micro-level semantic and syntactic factors and more general developments that have supported the transitivization of verbs in Late Modern English.

  • HOW TO MAKE NEW USE OF EXISTING RESOURCES

    2020. Turo Vartiainen, Mikko Höglund. American Speech 95 (4), 408-440

    Artikel

    This article discusses the history and regional variation of the complex preposition off of (e.g., I got off of the bus). The study is intended to uncover detailed information about the use of the form from Early Modern to Present-Day English by examining a variety of linguistic corpora and databases from different perspectives. In addition to charting the history and present-day variation of off of, the study will make a methodological contribution to historical dialectology by showing that there are extensive, severely underused resources that can reveal valuable information about the geographical variation of English even if they were not originally designed for that purpose. Most crucially, the article introduces a way to investigate Early Modern English from the perspective of regional variation, thus paving the way for future research in a field that has been extremely challenging to study in the past.

  • Complementation of ashameds - diachrony and determinants of variation

    2018. Mikko Höglund. Changing Structures, 89-107

    Kapitel

    The present chapter will contribute to the area of English complementation studies by investigating the adjective ashamed. The study focuses on the diachronic development of the use of ashamed during the past two centuries in different environments, and the variation between two rivalling non-finite complements, to infinitive and of -ing. The data was collected from COHA and COCA. The results show that since the 1870s ashamed has been used less and less, and that it occurs nowadays regularly without a complement whereas in the 19th century the to infinitive complement was common. The of -ing complement is not used much, but some contexts such as negation or copula in the complement clause were observed to attract this complement type.

  • A Cross-Linguistic Perspective on Complementation in the Tough Construction

    2015. Jukka Havu, Mikko Höglund. Perspectives on Complementation, 52-74

    Kapitel

    In recent years the increasing availability of large electronic corpora has led to a methodological shift in linguistics from intuition-based research to work that utilises electronic corpora as a source of data. This shift has given rise to a new perspective on work on complementation. This book presents the latest work in the field of complementation studies. Leading scholars and upcoming researchers in the area approac… show moreh complementation from various perspectives and different frameworks, such as Cognitive Grammar and construction grammars, to offer a broad survey of the field and provide thought-provoking reading accessible to anyone interested in complementation, novice or expert.
