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
When they realise they're being watched, they'll move around the store from department to department… (BNC) …the students and teachers ignored the novelist and crowded around the poet. (BNC) She wasn't the motherly type, she didn't fuss around you. (BNC) …the gulls were crying as they circled around the school. (BNC) Most of the dispute about the nature of convection ... revolves around whether the circulation pattern involves all…the mantle. (BNC)
