A Frequency-List of Sentence Structures: Distribution of Kernel Sentences

Geens, Dirk

ITL Review of Applied Linguistics, 24, 19-58, 74

A corpus of 10,000 sentences extracted from British theatrical texts was used to construct a frequency list of kernel sentence structures. Thirty-one charts illustrate the analyzed results. The procedures used and an interpretation of the frequencies are given. Such lists might aid foreign language teachers in course organization. Available from Instituut voor Toegepaste Linguistiek, Vesaliusstraat 2, b. 3000 Leuven, Belgium. (TL)
