Infinitival vs gerundial complementation with afraid, accustomed, and pronemultivariate corpus studies /[electronic resource] :by Juho Ruohonen, Juhani Rudanko. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xiii, 161 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Statistics and Complement Selection: A Case Study of Afraid Based on Canadian and British English -- Chapter 3: Non-Finite Complements of Fear Adjectives Nested Within Too Complement Constructions in Present-Day English -- Chapter 4: Semantics, Syntax and Horror Aequi as Predictors of Non-Finite Alternation: A Multivariate Analysis of Clausal Complements of Afraid in the Now Corpus -- Chapter 5: Factors Bearing on Non-Finite Complement Selection: A Case Study of Accustomed with Data from Hansard -- Chapter 6: Factors Bearing on Infinitival and Gerundial Complements of the Adjective Prone in Current American and British English -- Chapter 7: Conclusion.

This book explores the concept of complementation in the adjectival domain of English grammar. Alternation between non-finite complements, especially to infinitives and gerundial complements, has been investigated intensively on the basis of large corpora in the last few years. With very few exceptions, however, such work has hitherto been based on univariate analysis methods. Using multivariate analysis, the authors present methodologically innovative case studies examining a large array of explanatory factors potentially impacting complement choice in cases of alternation. This approach yields more precise information on the impact of each factor on complement choice as well as on interactions between different explanatory factors. The book thus presents a methodologically new perspective on the study of the system of non-finite complementation in recent English and variation within that system, and will be relevant to academics and students with an interest in English grammar, predicate complementation, and statistical approaches to language. Juho Ruohonen is a postgraduate student of English Philology at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Juhani Rudanko is Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences at Tampere University, Finland.
