Analyzing Syntactic Variation with Computer-Based Corpora: The Case of Modern Spanish Clitic Climbing.

Davies, Mark

Hispania, v78 n2 p370-80 May 1995

Examines a computer-based corpus that provides the data for a comprehensive investigation of clitic climbing in written and spoken modern Spanish. The results are based on nearly 15,000 tokens with 32 different main verbs from a computer corpus of 3.5 million words from ten countries. Clitic climbing is more common in spoken than in written Spanish. (21 references) (Author/CK)
