本研究是基于语料库的句法启动现象研究，即句法结构的重复使用倾向。在ICE-GB语料库数据的基础上，分析了及物短语动词的两对不同的句法模式，即所谓的与格交替和微粒放置。虽然有时有人认为只有实验数据才能有助于启动的研究，但分析表明：(a)基于语料库的结果与实验结果非常相似；(b)启动也适用于动词微粒结构，这是迄今为止在启动文献中尚未探索的结构；(c)最重要的是，与先前的许多心理语言学和语料库语言学工作一致，启动效应被证明是强烈的动词特异性，例如一些动词比其他动词更抗拒或响应启动。最后，我讨论了语料库数据如何与实验数据相关联，以及基于语料库的发现如何有助于心理语言学模型的建立。
The present study is a corpus-based investigation of syntactic priming, i.e. the tendency to reuse syntactic constructions. On the basis of data from the ICE-GB corpus, I analyze two different pairs of syntactic patterns, the so-called dative alternation and particle placement of transitive phrasal verbs. Although it has sometimes been argued that only experimental data can contribute to studies of priming, the analysis shows that (a) the corpus-based results for datives are very similar to the experimental ones; (b) priming is also obtained for the verb-particle construction, a construction hitherto not explored in the priming literature and (c), most importantly, in line with much previous psycholinguistic and corpus-linguistic work, priming effects turn out to be strongly verb-specific such that some verbs are much more resistant or responsive to priming than others. I conclude with a discussion of how corpus data relate to experimental data and how the corpus-based findings can contribute to psycholinguistic model building.
