Complex verbs in Spoken English: meanings, senses and frequencies

The table below presents the meanings, senses and frequencies of all the complex verbs attested in the spoken components of the British National Corpus (BNC) versions 1994 and 2014. The table lists 429 complex verbs that express 651 senses. The semantic classification of the verbal derivatives is explained and discussed in Laws (2023) and the table below has been drawn from Appendix C* of that volume.
*Based on Appendix C in Laws, Jacqueline. A Constructional Account of Verb-Forming Suffixation , 2023, pp. 265-378.

Key to Column headings:
CAL Ref: This numbering system refers to that used in Laws (2023).
VC Ref: An alternative numbering system used in these construction hierarchies.
Complex verb: The list of all the complex verbs analysed.
Partial instantiation of argument structure construction: The interpretation of each complex verb, the base of which is in [square brackets].
Freq: The frequency of the sense of this complex verb across BNC1994 & BNC2014.
Semantic Class: These semantic classes, as defined in Laws (2023), correspond to the Argument structure construction.
Verb-class cx: This refers to the verb-class construction name of the Argument structure construction.
Verb-class-specific cx: This is a subclass of the verb-class construction.
Enrichment feature: Specific interpretation of the verb-class-specific cx.
Override feature: An overriding element in the Argument structure construction.
Headings of Semantic Classes: Orange headings provide the Argument Structure Construction for each Semantic Class with a link to a diagrammatic representation of the construction hierarchy.
Key to symbols:
The numbers (x/y): y refers to the number of senses a verb has and x refers to which instance of the y senses the row corresponds to. E.g., stabilize has two senses: the transitive sense, They stabilized inflation, is the first sense (1/2); the intransitive sense, Inflation stabilized, is the second sense (2/2). If a verb has one sense, it is marked (1/1).
~ Neologism: the complex verb does not occur in the Oxford English Dictionary.
+ New sense: the meaning of an existing complex verb has been extended and the new meaning does not occur in the Oxford English Dictionary.
^ No base: the Argument structure construction does not involve the [base].
