This paper describes twelve canonical constructions in junior high English textbooks based on a previous learner corpus-based study (Notohara, 2010). The comparison between the learner corpus and the textbook one reveals the frequency effects of English textbooks on Japanese EFL learners. Correspondence analysis tests four hypotheses: (1) be (States/SVC) and have (Possession/SVO) will be most frequently found followed by (2) like (Emotion/SVO) and go (Self-motion/SV). Third most often found are likely to be (3) become (Processes/SVC), be (Location/SV), move (Object-motion/SV), put (Caused-motion/SVO) and break (Action/SVO), and finally (4) see (Perception & Cognition/SVO), sell (Action-Middle/SV) and give (Transfer/SVO) are predicted to be least found. Results show that, be (Location/SV) and see (Perception & Cognition/SVO) in the textbooks occur more often than expected and are difficult for Japanese EFL learners to learn.
