I wanna do some research on Construction Grammar by analyzing some examples of SVOA sentence pattern . BUT, now, I have some difficulty in finding those verbs from SVOA sentences pattern, Can you suggest some books or corpus for me to do such kind of research? Do you think it is possible to finish this task?

Hello, dungaa soong—and welcome to English Forums. Frankly, if you are unable to locate any sentences with SVOA pattern, then I think your research topic is a bit too difficult for you. Reading through almost any text should produce many examples without much effort.

Thanks a lot!
Actually, I know how to identify SVOA pattern , I just don't know how to build up my own corpus to do my research. The topic was given by my supervisor, and I don't want to give up. Maybe I should search more and collect more info. about my topic. Many thanks!
