Conceptualising Transitivity Networks Through Pattern Based Constructions

Pattern: V as 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 dispute which began as a strike in protest over lay-offs. (BNC) I propose that Tony remains as our representative. (BNC) [He]considered that a good deal of point of sale came across as 'a ghastly, ill designed mess'. (BNC) …the women artists and writers, the politicians and trades unionists, the women who came out as lesbians, and before them the witches and the suffragettes. (BNC) I started as an engineer and have ended as a biologist. (BNC)
