• Measure Noun constructions : an instance of semantically-driven grammaticalization (2003, background): “Such relative frequency counts will allow us to draw quantitative profiles of the MNs looked at in terms of marked versus unmarked use (cf. Halliday & James 1993) and see to what extent quantifier uses are attested in actual corpus data as opposed to head uses of MNs.”
• Towards a Language-Based Theory of Learning (2002, background): “…pattern, such that the options in the most general grammatical systems display one or the other of two probability profiles: either equiprobable (e.g., number: singular/plural), or noticeably skew, perhaps by about one order of magnitude (e.g., polarity: positive/negative; Halliday & James, 1993).”
