The frequency and variation of phrasal verbs in context : a pragmatic study

This thesis explores the phrasal verb construction ("get off," "takeover") from a previously unexplored vantage point--that of its frequency and variation in terms of contextual or register constraints. Ten separate discourses were used as the corpus for this study, two in each of fiveterms of percentage per pragmatic context, frequency of particular particles and verbs on each level, and other significant pragmatic criteria.
