2020 Chapter 8. Present-day English constructions with chance(s) in Talmy’s greater modal system and beyond Re-Assessing Modalising Expressions: Categories, co-text, and context, Hohaus, Pascal and Rainer Schulze (eds.), pp. 195–222 | Chapter
Based on qualitative and quantitative corpus research, this chapter argues that constructions with chance(s) in Present-day English enrich Talmy’s (1988) greater modal system in various ways. Firstly, in their modal uses they are equivalent to core modal auxiliaries and encode especially dynamic… read more
2016 Mirativity and rhetorical structure: The development and prosody of disjunct and anaphoric adverbials with ‘no’ wonder Outside the Clause: Form and function of extra-clausal constituents, Kaltenböck, Gunther, Evelien Keizer and Arne Lohmann (eds.), pp. 125–156 | Article
This paper studies from a synchronic-diachronic perspective the formal and semantic-discursive properties of adverbial expressions with a negative quantifier + wonder (henceforth ‘no’ wonder). They are used as mirative qualifiers which assess a proposition as ‘not surprising’, typically motivated… read more

In this paper we present our views on intersubjectivity and intersubjectification with reference to case studies on adjectives, hedges, tags, honorifics, etc. Building on Diessel’s notion of “joint attention” and Traugott’s approach to intersubjectivity, we propose a distinction between three types… read more

2012 The establishment of quantifier constructions for size nouns: A diachronic case study of heap(s) and lot(s) Journal of Historical Pragmatics 13:2, pp. 202–231 | Article
Based on exhaustive diachronic corpus data, this paper determines the relative chronology in which the size nouns heap(s) and lot(s) have developed quantifier uses within NP of NP-syntagms, as in heaps / a lot of people. Using a constructional approach, it is claimed that size nouns occur in three… read more

2008 Type noun uses in the English NP: A case of right to left layering International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 13:2, pp. 139–168 | Article
This article addresses the relatively neglected question of identifying and characterizing the various uses of sort, kind and type in the English NP. It does so on the basis of close analysis of a set of data extracted from the Times subcorpus of the COBUILD corpus. The proposed description refers… read more
2003 Measure Noun constructions: An instance of semantically-driven grammaticalization International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 8:2, pp. 283–312 | Article
In a narrow sense, the term ‘Measure Noun' (MN) refers to such nouns as acre and kilo, which typically measure off a well-established and specific portion of the mass or entity specified in a following of-phrase, e.g. a kilo of apples. When used like this, the MN is generally considered to… read more
