Complementation in British and American English applies a new
empirical methodology to the study of the English language. It
focuses on predicate complementation as a core area of English
grammar on the basis of the Bank of English Corpus. At over 600
million words, this electronic corpus is the largest systematic
corpus of the language in existence today. It offers a unique
database of authentic usage for the study of the system of
predicate complementation in British and American English. The
authors make full use of this database, paying special attention to
the language of newspapers and the spoken language in the two main
regional varieties of English. The book illustrates a new and
methodologically exciting direction in the study of the English
language in the twenty-first century.
