Articles

Folk models of “mere” talk and “real” action shape the inferential properties of Transitive Caused-Motion (TCM) constructions with a human Patient as direct object. Physical action verbs like force into/out of semantically entail motion of the Patient into/out of a location. In contrast,… read more | Chapter

Panther, Klaus-Uwe 2022 Attribute transfer: The figurative interpretation of shifted modifiersLiving Metaphors and Metonymies, Brdar, Mario and Rita Brdar-Szabó (eds.), pp. 130–155
The rhetorical trope hypallage, here called Attribute Transfer (AT), has been exploited artistically and creatively since antiquity in poetic and narrative discourse, but it is also used in ordinary language. This study focuses on modifier-noun constructions in which the prenominal modifier… read more | Article

Panther, Klaus-Uwe and Linda L. Thornburg 2019 Chapter 7. Figurative reasoning in hedged performativesMetaphor and Metonymy in the Digital Age: Theory and methods for building repositories of figurative language, Bolognesi, Marianna, Mario Brdar and Kristina Š. Despot (eds.), pp. 175–198
This chapter combines a cognitive linguistic and a pragmatic approach to a specific class of speech acts known as hedged performatives, such as I can offer you a five-year contract, which, despite the modal hedge can on the illocutionary verb offer, conventionally counts as an offer. We demonstrate… read more | Chapter
Panther, Klaus-Uwe and Linda L. Thornburg 2018 Chapter 5. What kind of reasoning mode is metonymy?Conceptual Metonymy: Methodological, theoretical, and descriptive issues, Blanco-Carrión, Olga, Antonio Barcelona and Rossella Pannain (eds.), pp. 121–160
In this chapter we present new arguments for a conception of metonymy as a contingent, i.e. defeasible, inferential relation between a source and a target sense within the same conceptual frame. Some scholars have raised objections against our approach to metonymy, claiming that there exist… read more | Chapter
Panther, Klaus-Uwe and Linda L. Thornburg 2017 Chapter 4. The role of inferencing in the interpretation of two expressive speech act constructionsConstructing Families of Constructions: Analytical perspectives and theoretical challenges, Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco José, Alba Luzondo Oyón and Paula Pérez Sobrino (eds.), pp. 109–134
We analyze two illocutionary constructions, viz. an autonomous complement clause construction, instantiated by That it should come to this!, and a wh-interrogative construction, such as What do think you are doing? Both constructions convey emotive and evaluative senses and have a factual… read more | Chapter

Li, Shuguang and Klaus-Uwe Panther 2014 ‘Author (date)’ constructions in academic discourseEnglish Text Construction 7:2, pp. 215–248
This article elucidates the semantics and pragmatics of a genre-specific nominal pattern with a definite referring function, the ‘Author (date)’ construction, which is widely used in scientific discourse. We investigate the conceptual structure and pragmatic use of this construction in terms of… read more | Article
In this article we investigate correlations between semantically equivalent expressions (organized in manner scales according to the formal properties of length, prosodic prominence, and grammaticalization) and their varying potential to trigger a certain metonymic interpretation. We focus on… read more | Article

We advocate the use of theoretical tools from both cognitive linguistics and contemporary pragmatics to analyze complement clause constructions that are syntactically dependent but independent in terms of their illocutionary force, as exemplified in English by That it should have come to this! Such… read more | Article
Panther, Klaus-Uwe and Linda L. Thornburg 2009 Introduction: On figuration in grammarMetonymy and Metaphor in Grammar, Panther, Klaus-Uwe, Linda L. Thornburg and Antonio Barcelona (eds.), pp. 1–44
Miscellaneous
The present article investigates a construction that displays a “mismatch” between form and content/function, instantiated by expressions like nice and comfy/clean/warm. This nice and Adj pattern has a “literal” transparent meaning, which corresponds to its coordinative syntax, but it is on its way… read more | Article

Panther, Klaus-Uwe 2008 11. Relating participants across asymmetric events: Conceptual constraints on obligatory controlAsymmetric Events, Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, Barbara (ed.), pp. 209–225
This chapter discusses a specific type of asymmetric events, namely a configuration where a non-expressed participant in a subordinate event must be identical with a participant in the superordinate event of which it is a part. The phenomenon is known as “obligatory control” in generative grammar… read more | Article
Panther, Klaus-Uwe and Klaus-Michael Köpcke 2008 A prototype approach to sentences and sentence typesAnnual Review of Cognitive Linguistics: Volume 6, Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco José (ed.), pp. 83–112
This paper proposes a new solution to the age-old problem of defining the sentence and sentence types. Arguing against traditional definitions, we propose that the category SENTENCE exhibits a complex prototypical structure on the levels of morphosyntactic form, conceptual content, and pragmatic… read more | Article
