2024 Podcasts as an emerging register of computer-mediated communication Register Studies 6:2, pp. 128–174 | Article
Podcasts, a relatively recent audio medium, have risen in popularity since their initial appearance in the mid-2000s. Yet, little is known about their lexico-grammatical characteristics and their relation to other computer-mediated and traditional registers. Addressing this gap, we apply… read more

It is a widespread view that online comments are like “dialogue”, with comments often being referred to as “conversations”. These assumptions, however, lack empirical back-up. In order… read more
2019 The semantics of evaluational adjectives: Perspectives from Natural Semantic Metalanguage and Appraisal Functions of Language 26:3, pp. 308–342 | Article
We apply the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach (Goddard & Wierzbicka 2014) to the lexical-semantic analysis of English evaluational adjectives and compare the results with the picture developed in the Appraisal Framework (Martin & White 2005). The analysis is corpus-assisted, with… read more
2019 The space of coherence relations and their signalling in discourse Language, Context and Text 1:2, pp. 205–233 | Article
I present an overview of the concept of coherence in discourse and explore how one of the essential elements to that coherence, relational coherence, has been studied and partitioned in different discourse traditions. I then introduce one of the theories that deals with discourse coherence,… read more

2006 Spontaneous and non-spontaneous turn-taking Pragmatics 16:2/3, pp. 329–360 | Article
Turn-taking is usually considered to follow a simple set of rules, enacted through a perhaps more complicated system of signals. The most significant aspect of the turn-taking process is that, in most cases, it proceeds in a very smooth fashion. Speakers signal to each other that they wish to… read more
