2022 Determinants of exaptation in Verb-Object predicates in the transition from Late Middle English to Early Modern English Broadening the Spectrum of Corpus Linguistics: New approaches to variability and change, Flach, Susanne and Martin Hilpert (eds.), pp. 133–172 | Chapter
While Verb-Object (VO) is the basic unmarked constituent order of predicates in Present-Day English, in older stages Object-Verb (OV) was the preferred option at least in certain syntactic contexts. This corpus-based study investigates OV linearisation after the loss of verb-second and focuses… read more
2021 Chapter 4. Theme as a proxy for register categorization Corpus-based Approaches to Register Variation, Seoane, Elena and Douglas Biber (eds.), pp. 85–110 | Chapter
In Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), choices in relation to the initial elements of clauses or ‘Themes’ have been claimed as indicators of register, genre or text type (Vande Kopple 1991, Fries 1995, North 2005). This chapter tests this premise using a large-scale corpus-based analysis of… read more

This study focuses on two extraclausal verbal constructions: free adjuncts (FAs: Not feeling at first the Pain of the Stroke, he wondered what was become of the Ball, DODDRIDGE-1747,10.72) and absolute constructions (ACs: Your Barrels being ready, strow the Bottom with Salt: DRUMMOND-1718,32.359).… read more
2013 It-clefts in the meta-informative structure of the utterance in Modern and Present-day English Meta-informative Centering in Utterances: Between Semantics and Pragmatics, Włodarczyk, André and Hélène Włodarczyk (eds.), pp. 145–166 | Article
This chapter focuses on the it-cleft construction and aims at, first, profiling it from the perspective adopted in Meta-Informative Centering Theory (hereafter, MIC) and, second, describing the major tendencies yielded by a diachronic corpus-based analysis. It-clefts deserve a specific place in an… read more
2012 A contrastive analysis of (English) ‘there’ and (Spanish) hay existential sentences: Towards a constructional prototype Languages in Contrast 12:2, pp. 139–164 | Article
This study is devoted to the grammatical, semantic and informative analysis of the so-called existential sentence (“There is a girl in the garden” in English, or Hay una niña en el jardín ‘There-is a girl in the garden’ in Spanish) in an attempt to establish a multi-linguistic prototype of the… read more
2005 Discourse on a par with syntax, or the effects of the linguistic organisation of letters on the diachronic characterisation of the text type Opening Windows on Texts and Discourses of the Past, Skaffari, Janne, Matti Peikola, Ruth Carroll, Risto Hiltunen and Brita Wårvik (eds.), pp. 215–235 | Article
This paper deals with the integration of functional (discourse-based) and formal (syntactic and statistical) phenomena in an overall linguistic explanation which accounts for the distribution of ‘marked’ declarative sentences in the epistolary genre, where ‘markedness’ implies deviation from the… read more
2004 Profaning Margery Kempe's tomb or the application of a Constraint-Grammar Parser to a late Middle English text International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 9:2, pp. 225–251 | Article
The aim of this paper is to investigate the extent of grammatical variation between late Middle English and Present-day English. To that end, we compare the automatic output which the English Constraint Grammar Parser (ENGCG-2) offers of an updated medieval text from The Book of Margery Kempe and… read more
