Description
This study employs Named Entity Recognition plus verbal pattern extraction in an intermodal corpus of EU discourse. The methodological aim is to mine English argument-structure constructions with subordinate clauses introduced by that and organization names in the subject slot ([ORG + V + that + SC]). Results show that, at a macro- and meso-level of schematicity, the [ORG + V + that + SC] construction transversally symbolises personification as an understanding scheme for institutional relations, constructing organization names with semantically human verbs of belief, speech, and thought. At a microscopic level, some constructions occur exclusively in one of the four subcorpora (non-translated, translated, non-interpreted, and interpreted English), meaning that they could be covering specific mediating functions through their name-verb slot choices.
