Converging evidence: Bringing together experimental and corpus data on the association of verbs and constructions (2005, methodology): “The adequacy of using the Fisher-Yates Exact test for collostructional analysis has been justified in detail elsewhere (cf. Stefanowitsch and Gries 2003; Gries and Stefanowitsch 2004a).”
English genitive variation – the state of the art1 (2014, background): “One position, essentially put forward by Stefanowitsch (2003) and Gries & Stefanowitsch (2004), is that possessive constructions with an s-genitive and an of-genitive (like most syntactic variants) are two different constructions conveying a different constructional meaning and therefore should not…”
Collostructional analysis and other ways of measuring lexicogrammatical attraction: Theoretical premises, practical problems and cognitive underpinnings (2013, methodology): “…semantic differences between apparently synonymous constructions (‘alternations’) by comparing the collostruction strength of manifestations and lexical variants in actual use as documented in corpora (Gries and Stefanowitsch 2004; see also Gries et al. 2005, 2010; Gries and Stefanowitsch 2010).”
An amorphous model for morphological processing in visual comprehension based on naive discriminative learning. (2011, background): “Phenomena typically explored with collostructional analysis (Stefanowitsch & Gries, 2003; Gries & Stefanowitsch, 2004) may similarly constitute dimensions of paradigmatic variation affecting lexical processing.”
Investigating locality effects and surprisal in written English syntactic choice phenomena. (2016, neutral): “Lexical bias: The verb influences the choice of realization in dative alternation (Bresnan et al. 2007, Gries 2005, Gries & Stefanowitsch 2004, Wasow & Arnold 2003) and can also influence phenomena like heavy NP shift (Stallings, MacDonald, & O’Seaghdha 1998, Staub, Clifton, & Frazier 2006) and…”
Constructing a second language: Analyses and computational simulations of the emergence of linguistic constructions from usage. (2009, methodology): “…the association strength between the verbs and the VACs in which they occur, they used collexeme strength (the log to the base 10 of the p-value of the Fisher-Yates exact test), a measure of contingency from collostructional analysis (Gries & Stefanowitsch, 2004; Stefanowitsch & Gries, 2003).”
Predicting syntax: Processing dative constructions in American and Australian varieties of English (2010, background): “…equivalence (Aoun and Li 1989, Larson 1988a,b, den Dikken 1995), others arguing for lexical semantic differences (Green 1974, Oehrle 1976, Pinker 1989), and still others, for lexical equivalence and constructional semantic differences only (Goldberg 2002, Harley 2002, Gries and Stefanowitsch 2004).”
Dispersions and adjusted frequencies in corpora (2008, background): “Howes and Solomon (1951) for recognition times, Oldfield and Wingfield (1965) and Forster and Chambers (1973) for naming times, and Ellis (2002a, b) as well as Jurafsky (2003) for overviews.”
Argument Structure in Usage-Based Construction Grammar: Experimental and corpus-based perspectives (2015, methodology): “…provides such a study by comparing the results of Hare et al.’s (2003) self-paced reading experiment to usage data gathered from a subset of the BNC, using the results of distinctive collexeme analysis (Gries & Stefanowitsch, 2004) as a measure of both form-based and sensecontingent verb biases.”
