- Abstract
- This paper aims to bridge the paradigm gap that exists between World Englishes (new, indigenised varieties of English spoken in countries like India or Singapore) and Learner Englishes (foreign varieties of English spoken in, e.g., France or Spain), by employing the tools and methods of corpus linguistics. More precisely, it relies on data from the International Corpus of English and the International Corpus of Learner English (among others) to investigate and compare the use of phrasal verbs with up in the two types of varieties, both quantitatively and qualitatively, highlighting the differences between them but also (and perhaps more importantly) the features that unite them.
