Conceptualising Transitivity Networks Through Pattern Based Constructions

Pattern: V around n

The pattern can be best understood by viewing the interactive construction network link above.

To examine the individual constructions please see the tables below:

Examples
…the Treaty of Rome had skirted around the question of political cooperation. (BNC) …the gulls were crying as they circled around the school. (BNC) …the students and teachers ignored the novelist and crowded around the poet. (BNC) When they realise they're being watched, they'll move around the store from department to department… (BNC) John hung around the theatre and lent a hand in any way he could. (BNC)
