To this end, the author extracts the occurrences of the It BE Ven that-construction from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), determines its structural, semantic, distributional, and discourse-functional features, and identifies verbs that are strongly associated with the construction in question. The study meaningfully contributes to a growing body of research on it-extraposition by conducting a qualitative and quantitative analysis of one of its variants, a grammatical pattern with past participles that has not been hitherto investigated in much detail from a quantitative corpus- based perspective.}, type={Article}, title={It-extraposition with past participles and that-clauses: a quantitative corpus - based analysis}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/127936/PDF-MASTER/2023-01-LINS-02.pdf}, doi={10.24425/linsi.2023.144822}, keywords={it-extraposition, construction grammar, frame semantics, COCA, corpus-based analysis}, }
