- Title
Developing one corpus‐based grammar textbook about irregular multi‐verb sequences in English.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article addresses the development of a corpus‐based grammar textbook on four types of irregular multi‐verb sequences in English— V‐V, V‐and‐V, V‐to‐V, and V‐Ving. Since many current grammar textbooks have seldom treated these four types of irregular multi‐verb sequences, this article empirically demonstrates the need to develop corpus‐based grammar textbooks. Our framework to develop the corpus‐based grammar textbook adopted in this article relies on two things: a combination of corpora and descriptions of English grammar proposed by linguists working in the field of theoretical linguistics. The corpus‐based grammar textbook in this article is a pilot scheme that can be extended to other grammatical areas. This article thus claims that the development of corpus‐based grammar textbooks clearly makes a positive contribution to grammatical instruction.
