Frequencies of phrasal verbs listed by Meyler 2007 Analysis Overall the phrasal verbs in Tables 2 and 3 above have very low frequencies of occurrence in ICE-SL except for look at and go up. The low frequencies may be due to the number of words in the research sub-corpus which is admittedly small. Another possibility is that SLE phrasal verbs are more frequently found in genres of speech rather than in genres of writing an assumption which cannot be corroborated at the present moment due to a lack of comparable corpus speech data. Next since the corpora of the ICE project are specifically designed to offer the possibility of comparing lexico-grammatical features across language varieties an equivalent sub-corpus of British English ICE-GB was searched for occurrences of all the phrasal verbs considered in this study. The purpose of this search was to discover if the patterns of use found for phrasal verbs in written texts of ICE-SL are in any way similar to patterns in ICE-GB since British English is the input variety of SLE and also a variety which is considered an international standard for academic writing along with American English. The results of searching the text categories W2A W2B W2C W2D W2E and W2F in ICE-GB are given below. It will be noticed that the list of phrasal verbs in Table 4 is slightly different from the lists in Tables 2 and 3. This is because a total of 28 phrasal verbs were searched for in ICE-SL culled from Swales and Feak 2000 and Meyler 2007 . Of these 13 were not found in ICE-SL and therefore do not appear in Table 2. Similarly six of the phrasal verbs culled from Meyler were not found in ICE-SL and thus do not appear in Table 3. To maintain consistency in the comparison ICE-GB was also searched for the original list of 28 phrasal verbs. At this point four that do not occur in .
