@adumbmoron @cedricboeckx @adeenflinker very nice work! I am wondering whether experiencer verbs (e.g. "the boy fears the dog") would pattern like your active or passive sentences - it might help to determine whether the bias has a semantic or syntactic basis

L'enseignement universitaire de nombreuses disciplines, dont le français et d'autres langues, est menacé aux Pays-Bas. Une pétition pour empêcher ça : @Laelia_Ve, @Linguisticae, @APonsonnet, @MedericGC, @MathieuAvanzi

@camhmorin Je vois, j'ai l'impression qu'il y a ce genre de variation avec pas mal de prépositions : "hors de"/"hors" (cf "hors les murs"), "en face de"/"en face" (cf. "en face la maison" dans certaines régions). Peut-être lié à une hésitation sur la catégorie gram de ces mots (nom/prép?).

@camhmorin I am not entirely sure about the specific diachronic path. Maybe it's a kind of word-minimality effect?

@camhmorin In general, liaison behaves in a way that is unexpected from a reduction perspective: e.g. high-frequency liaison words are more likely to appear under their unreduced, liaison form than low-frequency liaison words. cf this paper (section 3.4):
