Transcript of Reporting Verbs
In the BAWE corpus these verbs are used as reporting verbs followed by that, as in the following examples:
Both Garland and Ashworth argue that at a policy level, suspects' rights are no longer a key concern. The Bush Administration claims that the EU's delay in granting new GM crop approvals has resulted in lost markets for American farmers.
Wrangham (1997) contends that in certain conditions females do exhibit displays of dominance.
In the 1940s Harold Bender observed that there were two strands of Anabaptism present in the early sixteenth-century across Germany, Switzerland, Holland and Austria.
A study by Gough and Wren (1999) suggested that only 40% of function words and 10% of content words could be correctly anticipated.
