| Research Abstract |
The present research project is focused on the relationship between English adjectives and the constructions that they appear in. Theoretically, the work draws on cognitive-functional linguistics, while its analyses are heavily based on intensive quantitative/statistical analyses of data taken from corpora. The data comes from a synchronic corpus such as ICE-GB and also from diachronic corpora such as CLMET3.0 and DCPSE. By using a series of quantitative methods, the present work shows how adjectives are used in the attributive and predicative constructions. It also reveals how English adjectives have developed over time in these two constructions.
