The Absolute Phrase in Contemporary English

James Vanden Bosch

Abstrakt

Until recently it has been difficult to obtain good information about the relative freąuency of the absolute phrase in spoken and written English. With a POS-tagged corpus like the ICE-GB, however, it is possible to use extraction formulas to find absolute phrases in the ICE-GB, a million-word corpus of contemporary English. In this study, I describe the re- sults of that corpus work, especially in terms of relative distribution by genre.
