I wish you would, I wish I could: a corpus-based study of sentences with wish

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Using data from the British National Corpus (BNC), this paper examines the complementation of the verb wish used with different subjects, and then focuses on patterns in which wish is typically complemented by a finite clause. It turns out that I wish isby far the most frequent clause with wish, and the subject of the finite clause following it is often I or you, i.e. a pronoun denoting a direct participant in conversation. Wishes addressed to the listener can be interpreted as appeals, or, as Searle (1975: 64-5) argues, indirect directives (I wish you would V). Speaker-oriented wishes (the most frequent ones, e.g. I wish I could V) and wishes about third persons are expressions of attitudes. The subject of the finite clause after I / he / she wishedis often the same as the subject of wish, and you is not common. A systematic analysis of finite clauses after I wish on the one hand, and of I / he / she wished on the other, brings supporting evidence for the argument that while clauses
