The most frequent valency sentence pattern for CONSIDER in both corpora, highlighted in bold in Table 7, is <sub obj> with the object realised by a noun phrase. This is followed by object realisation with a that- clause(EuroParl) or an ing-clause(BoE). Shortened infinitive clauses representing a nominal or adjectival complement, <sub obj nom> and <sub obj adi, are frequent in both corpora, but the extended infinitive clauses in the patterns <sub obj vb-lo-be-nom> and <sub obj vb-to-be-adi> are relatively more frequent in the EuroParl corpus.
