Which-hunting and the Standard English relative clause (2015, background): “For the genitive alternation in written StE, Hinrichs and Szmrecsanyi (2007) find a significant tendency for nested constructions to display a horror aequi effect, that is, a tendency to alternate from s -genitive to of -genitive and vice versa, rather than employing either variant twice in a row.”
Cognitive Corpus Linguistics: five points of debate on current theory and methodology (2010, background): “Analyses of English data have addressed, among many other topics, the dative alternation (Gries, 2003; Bresnan et al., 2007; inter alia), the two genitives ( Hinrichs and Szmrecsanyi, 2007; inter alia), and the two comparatives (Mondorf, 2003; Hilpert, 2008; inter alia).”
of construction probability on word durations during spontaneous incremental sentence production (2012, background): “…in estimating those probabilities as a mathematical function of the weighted sum of accessibility factors (Bresnan et al., 2007; Gries, 2003; Hinrichs & Szmrecsanyi, 2007; Jaeger, 2010; Roland et al., 2008): e.g., 94% in Bresnan et al.’s (2007) study on English datives; 84% in Gries (2003)…”
