2026 Chapter 3. Mapping the comparative correlative across the GloWbE: More evidence for constructional networks Grammar through the Lens of Corpus Linguistics, Pérez-Guerra, Javier, Yolanda Fernández-Pena and Ana Elina Martínez-Insua (eds.), pp. 66–104 | Chapter
The English Comparative Correlative (CC) is a bi-clausal construction (e.g., [The more I read]C1 [the more I know]C2) that has recently been investigated using a Construction Grammar (CxG)-based approach. Within this framework, empirical evidence has been adduced for the existence of so-called… read more
2026 Chapter 1. Nodes, networks, and redundancies: A constructional account of the Spanish comparative correlative construction Bridging Boundaries: Interdisciplinary perspectives on Hispanic Linguistics, Thompson, Gregory L. and Scott M. Alvord (eds.), pp. 12–37 | Chapter
The Spanish comparative correlative (CC) is a biclausal construction (e.g., [Cuanto más leo,]C1 [tanto más entiendo]C2) that is characterized by complex semantics and form. Previous studies have tried to account for it with maximally abstract rules. I present a corpus study, based on over 3,300… read more
2026 Weight effects in Slovak: A corpus investigation Review of Cognitive Linguistics: Online-First Articles | Article
This corpus study investigates the principle of end-weight, i.e., the role of constituent weight in determining postverbal NP and PP order, in Slovak. Drawing on a 266-token sample from the Slovak National Corpus, I examine whether Slovak, reflecting findings from research on English, exhibits a… read more
2024 Cuanto(s) más datos, (tanto) mejor: A corpus-based study of the Spanish comparative correlative construction Review of Cognitive Linguistics 22:1, pp. 204–257 | Article
The Spanish comparative correlative (CC) construction (Cuanto más leo, (tanto) más entiendo) has a complex syntactic structure and complex semantics. The syntactic relationship between its two subclauses has been subject to much debate. This study, the first large-scale (> 3,000 tokens) corpus… read more
2021 Slovak comparative correlatives: A usage-based construction grammar account Constructions and Frames 13:2, pp. 193–229 | Article
Comparative Correlatives (CCs) are biclausal constructions (e.g. The harder you work, the more you earn) that have complex semantics and form. This is the first construction grammar-based corpus study to investigate Slovak CCs, based on a 500-token sample. I argue that intra-clausal word-order… read more
