Utterance comprehension in spontaneous speech: Phonetic reductions and lexico-grammatical context Multimodal Communication from a Construction Grammar Perspective, Nikiforidou, Kiki and Mirjam Fried (eds.), pp. 69–115 | Chapter
2025 The nature of spontaneous speech raises questions concerning the relationship between phonetic reductions and unimpaired comprehension of an utterance. The results of a pilot experiment based on individual production and community perception in Czech spontaneous conversations suggest that there… read more

2021 Grammatical organization of conversational language presents us with the challenge of incorporating recurrent contextual and discourse-relevant properties in grammatical descriptions, as part of speakers’ conventional knowledge. Using data from conversational Czech extracted from the Czech… read more
Irregular morphology in regular syntactic patterns: A case of constructional re-alignment Diachronic Construction Grammar, Barðdal, Jóhanna, Elena Smirnova, Lotte Sommerer and Spike Gildea (eds.), pp. 139–172 | Article
2015 In exploring the multi-dimensional and incremental nature of grammatical change that emerges from the recurrent interaction between a form and its environment, this study demonstrates that a systematic examination of morphological irregularity can enrich our understanding of the anatomy of… read more
Grammaticalization and lexicalization effects in participial morphology: A Construction Grammar approach to language change Formal Evidence in Grammaticalization Research, Van linden, An, Jean-Christophe Verstraete and Kristin Davidse (eds.), pp. 191–224 | Article
2010 The study explores a particular functional shift (predication > modification) associated with a special participial form in Slavic, as attested in Old Czech. The purpose of the study is a close examination of the criteria that have been proposed as common manifestations of grammaticalization, in… read more
Constructions and frames as interpretive clues Framing: From grammar to application, Sambre, Paul and Maria-Cornelia Wermuth (eds.), pp. 83–102 | Article
2010 Drawing attention to a rather neglected domain in Construction Grammar analyses, this paper examines the multi-layered nature of speakers’ linguistic knowledge and its manifestation in the emergence of new linguistic structure. In particular, I show that the emergence of certain discourse-sensitive… read more

2009 Through a discourse-grounded internal reconstruction that aims at capturing the emergence of grammatical structure, the study examines the development of the subjective epistemic particle jestli ‘[in-my-opinion-] maybe’ in conversational Czech. Through internal reconstruction, the change… read more

2007 In a usage-based analysis of four syntactic reflexives in Czech, this paper examines the question of representing speakers’ knowledge of polyfunctional grammatical categories. I argue that the reflexives form a prototype-based network of partially overlapping grammatical patterns, organized by the… read more
