Clausal Complements in Native and Learner Spoken English

This work on clausal complementation studies the quantitative and qualitative similarities and differences of spoken learner and native language structuring by using data from VICOLSE (an oral learner corpus compiled by the author), LINDSEI and LOCNEC. It also shows how the interplay of several factors (e.g. methodology, corpus comparability, etc.) cannot be overlooked in learner language studies.
