Corpus evidence of the viability of statistical preemption (2011, background): “The differences are subject to some dialect differences and gradability, yet it is possible to predict with high probability which construction will be preferred in a given context, for a given dialect (Bresnan and Hay 2007; Bresnan and Ford 2010).”
The dative alternation in South Asian English(es) Modelling predictors and predicting prototypes (2014, background): “…across regional varieties which the paper at hand has not taken into consideration (e.g. in American and Australian English; cf. Bresnan and Ford 2010; Collins 1995), it is certainly desirable to extend the spatial scope of studies on protostructions by including additional native and…”
