Abstract
This article aims to investigate the selection of ‘processes’ realised in the verbal group1 in two corpora of tourist official websites advertising Italy and Great Britain as tourist destinations. In particular, the analysis will focus on the use of verbal groups in the description of places and tourist attractions such as parks, cities, and sea. The aim of this analysis is to uncover systematic tendencies in the frequency of usage of the different types of processes that may reflect the cultural tendencies of the two countries taken into account.File in questo prodotto:
