This article presents the findings of a quantitative corpus-based analysis of the register distribution of detached nonfinite/ nonverbal with explicit subject constructions in present-day English. Despite substantial research on the linguistic diversity of the syntactic patterns under study, no quantitative corpus and machine-learning analysis of the distribution of all their types in modern English registers has been presented. Thus, the statistical platform R was employed to accomplish two goals: 1) to undertake a quantitative corpus-based analysis of register distribution of the analyzed clauses in the BNC corpus and 2) to assess the possibility of occurrence of the clauses under research in the registers of present-day English on the basis of a machine-learning model. The findings of this study provide compelling evidence for the applicability of an integrated quantitative corpus linguistic and machine learning analysis for investigating the linguistic behavior of complex clause-level constructions, such as English detached nonfinite/ nonverbal with explicit subject constructions. The obtained results refute the prevalent view in contemporary English grammars that detached nonfinite/ nonverbal with explicit subject constructions have a limited scope of use and demonstrate that the analyzed syntactic patterns expand their register distribution, penetrating both the written and spoken registers of contemporary formal and informal English discourse.
