Articles

Evidentiality is a linguistic category that comprises forms and meanings related to the source of information in utterances, the use of which may impact judgments about the degree of certainty expressed by a speaker. The main dichotomy is first-hand (direct) vs. second-hand (indirect) evidence.… read more
The aim of this research was to compare the quality of language services and of linguistic evidence obtained in UK police interviews and US police interrogations with suspects, witnesses and victims who speak little or no English and have to communicate via an interpreter. This is the first… read more
In this chapter I discuss the many complexities that police officers have to deal with in their communication with suspects. Investigative interviewing is a very complex communicative situation in itself, with a number of different psychological and sociological variables at play during each… read more

Investigative interviewing is a very complex communicative situation in itself, with a number of different psychological and sociological variables at play during each… read more
This chapter illustrates the benefits of applying insights from language typologies in order to afford better understanding of both theoretical and practical implications of language contrasts. It examines the practical consequences of certain typological contrasts for different professional… read more
In this paper we introduce and outline a new research area, Applied Language Typology (ALT). ALT builds on fundamental typological findings in morphology, syntax and semantics. ALT examines the attested and potential practical consequences of these contrasts for different professional contexts of… read more
Filipović, Luna and Martin Pütz 2016 Introduction: Endangered languages and languages in dangerEndangered Languages and Languages in Danger: Issues of documentation, policy, and language rights, Filipović, Luna and Martin Pütz (eds.), pp. 1–22 | Article
This chapter provides a discussion of communication problems that arise in a multilingual legal context. We analyse witness interview reports and interviews from both the UK and the US in order to assess the difficulties that non-English speakers can face in an English-speaking justice system. The… read more
Multiple factors operate when a bilingual mind processes and stores information and they operate in unison, sometimes cooperating and sometimes competing. The central argument in this chapter is that it is the inherent drive for efficiency in communication that underlies interactions among these… read more

A number of significant intratypological differences emerge due to the processes that drive the lexicalization of motion events in Serbo-Croatian,namely morphological blocking and combinatory potential Filipović 2007a). These two morphosyntactic processes restrict the use of manner verbs and… read more

We studied language as a factor in the construal of dynamic spatial relations, and addressed the question of whether different languages can have different effects on memory of motion events. In the “motion condition”, speakers had to describe what the person did in each video, while in the “colour… read more

The focus of this paper is the expression of motion events in Serbo-Croatian in the context of Talmy’s (1985) typology. Attested electronic corpus data and extensive dictionary data have been used for the purpose of analysis. Prefixes and two morphosyntactic processes that they are responsible for… read more
I argue that certain aspectual forms that have given rise to descriptive problems in the past can be accounted for if we understand the contexts in which these forms appear as constructions. I provide evidence for two aspectual constructions in Serbian, which are used to describe situations in two… read more
Filipović, Luna 2006 Weaving the web of meaningLanguages in Contrast 6:1, pp. 151–175 | Article
Talmy’s (1985) typology proposes a classification of languages on the basis of their lexicalization patterns. All languages exhibit the tendency to code either manner or path of motion in the verb, and thus are divided accordingly into two main typological groups. The fact that languages code… read more
