This book employs corpus-based methodologies to explore the diverse factors contributing to verb number agreement with complex collective noun phrases in English. The study of collective nouns and their agreement patterns encompasses a wide range of disciplines and approaches. However, limited research has specifically focused on the influence of prepositions of -dependents on verb number with relational collective nouns, such as "a bunch of" or "a group of." Fernández-Pena conducts a comprehensive analysis by utilizing statistical modeling to examine the various morphological, syntactic, semantic, and lexical dimensions of the variables affecting verb number agreement with these phrases. By undertaking a multidimensional examination of the significance of prepositions of -dependents in the patterning and contemporary usage of collective nouns, this book provides valuable insights into both synchronic variation and diachronic change. This book is a must-read for scholars interested in English language variation and change, historical linguistics, corpus linguistics, and usage-based approaches to language study.
