| Popis: | The adjectival use of the word chosen is in the focus of this study. Based on data taken from the Corpus of Historical American English, the adjectival characteristics of chosen are investigated first. As chosen is a participial adjective, its uses with reference to its participial character are analysed. The third line of investigation outlines the co-occurrence patterns of chosen with nouns. The results from the corpus-linguistic analyses will be related to the theoretically deduced notions ‘canonical’ and ‘non-canonical’. A discussion in how far the notions ‘canonical’ and ‘non-canonical’ can be related to the corpus-linguistic results follows. |
