Sažetak
The paper presents a corpus-based research of phrasal verbs in English business magazines online. The corpus consisting of 9731 words has been compiled from the following business magazines online: The Economist, Entrepreneur, Forbes, Fortune Magazine, My Making Money Magazine and The Street. The research comprises both the quantitative and qualitative analysis of phrasal verbs in this variety of English for specific purposes (ESP). The quantitative analysis presents the total number of phrasal verbs and their frequency in the analysed corpus. In addition, comparison with the most frequent phrasal verbs in general English is done to reveal possible semantic differences when it comes to these two registers of English language. The qualitative analysis of phrasal verbs (PV) refers to their composition: whether they consist of a verb + adverb, a verb + preposition or a verb + adverb + preposition. The qualitative analysis gives also the overview of the most frequent adverbs and prepositions registered in the corpus of English business magazines online. The paper has its didactical aspect too, which provides the reader with the ideas for implementation of the obtained results in Business English classes.
