Introduction
Werner, Valentin 2021 Chapter 8. A register approach toward pop lyrics in EFL educationCorpus-based Approaches to Register Variation, Seoane, Elena and Douglas Biber (eds.), pp. 209–234
The language-educational literature seems to agree on the conversational nature of pop lyrics.

The present study re-assesses… read more | Chapter
Werner, Valentin 2021 A diachronic perspective on telecinematic languageCorpus approaches to telecinematic language, Bednarek, Monika, Valentin Werner and Marcia Veirano Pinto (eds.), pp. 38–70
Previous corpus-based studies, which have mostly focused on a particular film or series, have identified various key characteristics of telecinematic language.

Werner, Valentin 2016 Overlap and divergence – aspects of the present perfect in World EnglishesWorld Englishes: New theoretical and methodological considerations, Seoane, Elena and Cristina Suárez-Gómez (eds.), pp. 113–142
This study provides an analysis of the Present Perfect (PrPf; have + V-en) in World Englishes. To this end, I extract occurrences of the PrPf from the International Corpus of English and annotate them manually for various factors (such as semantics, Aktionsart, temporal adverbials). I analyze the… read more | Article
Specification by certain temporal adverbials has been shown to be one of the typical triggers of the present perfect in British English. Often, however, L2 varieties display different patterns of temporal co-occurrence, especially using the simple past tense. This study is based on corpus data from… read more | Article
