| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to investigate, using huge-sized corpora, a variety of constructions in contemporary English. The constructions, not fully explored thus far, were dealt with not only from a syntactic viewpoint but also from a functional one. Methods of retrieving useful linguistic information from corpora were also investigated. The use of regular expressions for the study of constructions was extensively discussed. In addition, pitfalls in using corpora were also pointed out.
