Reconnecting Form and Meaning: In honour of Kristin Davidse
Edited by Caroline Gentens, Lobke Ghesquière, William B. McGregor and An Van linden
This volume is intended as a celebration of Kristin Davidse’s work and its impact within the broad traditions of cognitive, functional and usage-based grammars. Reflecting this wide functionalist lens, the contributions develop ideas central to Neo-Firthian theories of grammar (in particular,… read more[Studies in Language Companion Series, 230] 2023. vii, 305 pp.
On Multiple Source Constructions in Language Change
Edited by Hendrik De Smet, Lobke Ghesquière and Freek Van de Velde
In much writing on language change, there is a tacit assumption that change operates on a single source construction to produce an innovative target construction. This volume challenges this assumption, by showing that many changes involve interactions between multiple source constructions. In… read more[Benjamins Current Topics, 79] 2015. v, 227 pp.
Intersubjectivity and Intersubjectification in Grammar and Discourse: Theoretical and descriptive advances
Edited by Lieselotte Brems, Lobke Ghesquière and Freek Van de Velde
Recent years saw a growing interest in the study of subjectivity, as the linguistic expression of speaker involvement. Intersubjectivity, defined by Traugott as "the linguistic expression of a speaker/writer's attention to the hearer/reader", on the other hand, has so far received little explicit… read more[Benjamins Current Topics, 65] 2014. vi, 161 pp.
Corpus Interrogation and Grammatical Patterns
Edited by Kristin Davidse, Caroline Gentens, Lobke Ghesquière and Lieven Vandelanotte
The studies in this volume approach English grammatical patterns in novel ways by interrogating corpora, focusing on patterns in the verb phrase (tense, aspect and modality), the noun phrase (intensification and focus marking), complementation structures and clause combining. Some studies… read more[Studies in Corpus Linguistics, 63] 2014. viii, 358 pp.

2026 A contrastive study of English finally/eventually , Dutch eindelijk/uiteindelijk and French finalement/enfin Languages in Contrast 26:1, pp. 1–27 | Article
This paper presents a synchronic study of six adverbial markers — EN finally/eventually, DU eindelijk/uiteindelijk and FR finalement/enfin — all of which can indicate the end of a sequence or the conclusion of a long (thought) process. Using both monolingual and parallel corpora, we developed… read more
2026 Chapter 10. English absolutely , French absolument , and Dutch absoluut in contrast and in translation Cross-linguistic Register Variation, Rørvik, Sylvi and Marlén Izquierdo (eds.), pp. 237–263 | Chapter
This study examines three adverbs — English absolutely, French absolument and Dutch absoluut — across registers and translation data. In doing so, this research expands on prior studies by including less-researched languages and addressing translation dynamics. Results show that all three… read more
2023 Introduction. Reconnecting form and meaning: Lexis and grammar from cognitive-functional and usage-based perspectives Reconnecting Form and Meaning: In honour of Kristin Davidse, Gentens, Caroline, Lobke Ghesquière, William B. McGregor and An Van linden (eds.), pp. 1–13 | Chapter

2017 Chapter 2. Intensification and focusing: The case of pure(ly) and mere(ly) Exploring Intensification: Synchronic, diachronic and cross-linguistic perspectives, Napoli, Maria and Miriam Ravetto (eds.), pp. 33–54 | Chapter
Intensification or degree modification by means of adverbs and adjectives has been the object of linguistic study for many years, yet there is still a need for clear delineation of this functional category. This study focuses on the differences and similarities between the functional domains of… 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 Identifying and intensifying uses of prenominal such: A data-based approach International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 17:4, pp. 516–545 | Article
In this article, I revisit the functional distinction between identifying and intensifying uses of such, as in such a person and such a blunderer respectively. In the literature on such, attention has gone mainly to its classification in terms of word class and position in the NP, and to the… read more
