： 本文研究了五个 ICE 语料库中的助词或“多词”动词：东非、英国、印度、菲律宾和新加坡。它首先假设助词动词可以在多个领域发展出品种特定的属性，包括使用的发生率和频率、结构行为和生产力范围。在所调查的品种之间发现了系统差异。特别是，新加坡英语被发现不仅表现出最高频率的助词动词，而且在其结构用途以及形式和语义创造力方面也表现出最广泛的类型。就某些助词动词而言，我们发现某些形式和含义在特定国家占主导地位，尽管数据集的大小有限以及由此导致的单个助词动词的频率较低，使得泛化变得困难。
: This paper examines particle or “multi-word” verbs in five ICE corpora: East Africa, Great Britain, India, the Philippines and Singapore. It begins with the hypothesis that particle verbs can develop variety-specific properties in several areas, including incidence and frequency of use, structural behavior, and productivity range. Systematic differences were found between the varieties under investigation. In particular, Singapore English was found to exhibit not only the highest frequency of particle verbs, but also the widest range of types in its structural uses and its formal and semantic creativity. In the case of certain particle verbs, it was found that certain forms and meanings predominate in specific countries, although the limited size of the datasets, and the consequent low frequencies of individual particle verbs, makes generalization difficult.
