2025 Utterance comprehension in spontaneous speech: Phonetic reductions and lexico-grammatical context Multimodal Communication from a Construction Grammar Perspective, Nikiforidou, Kiki and Mirjam Fried (eds.), pp. 69–115 | Chapter
The nature of spontaneous speech raises questions concerning the relationship between phonetic reductions and unimpaired comprehension of an utterance. The results of a pilot experiment based on individual production and community perception in Czech spontaneous conversations suggest that there… read more

2021 Discourse-referential patterns as a network of grammatical constructions Constructional Approach(es) to Discourse-Level Phenomena: Theoretical challenges and empirical advances, Enghels, Renata and María Sol Sansiñena (eds.), pp. 21–54 | Article
Grammatical organization of conversational language presents us with the challenge of incorporating recurrent contextual and discourse-relevant properties in grammatical descriptions, as part of speakers’ conventional knowledge. Using data from conversational Czech extracted from the Czech… read more
2015 Irregular morphology in regular syntactic patterns: A case of constructional re-alignment Diachronic Construction Grammar, Barðdal, Jóhanna, Elena Smirnova, Lotte Sommerer and Spike Gildea (eds.), pp. 139–172 | Article
In exploring the multi-dimensional and incremental nature of grammatical change that emerges from the recurrent interaction between a form and its environment, this study demonstrates that a systematic examination of morphological irregularity can enrich our understanding of the anatomy of… read more
2010 Grammaticalization and lexicalization effects in participial morphology: A Construction Grammar approach to language change Formal Evidence in Grammaticalization Research, Van linden, An, Jean-Christophe Verstraete and Kristin Davidse (eds.), pp. 191–224 | Article
The study explores a particular functional shift (predication > modification) associated with a special participial form in Slavic, as attested in Old Czech. The purpose of the study is a close examination of the criteria that have been proposed as common manifestations of grammaticalization, in… read more
2010 Constructions and frames as interpretive clues Framing: From grammar to application, Sambre, Paul and Maria-Cornelia Wermuth (eds.), pp. 83–102 | Article
Drawing attention to a rather neglected domain in Construction Grammar analyses, this paper examines the multi-layered nature of speakers’ linguistic knowledge and its manifestation in the emergence of new linguistic structure. In particular, I show that the emergence of certain discourse-sensitive… read more

2009 Construction Grammar as a tool for diachronic analysis Constructions and Frames 1:2, pp. 261–290 | Article
Through a discourse-grounded internal reconstruction that aims at capturing the emergence of grammatical structure, the study examines the development of the subjective epistemic particle jestli ‘[in-my-opinion-] maybe’ in conversational Czech. Through internal reconstruction, the change… read more

2007 Constructing grammatical meaning: Isomorphism and polysemy in Czech reflexivization Studies in Language 31:4, pp. 721–764 | Article
In a usage-based analysis of four syntactic reflexives in Czech, this paper examines the question of representing speakers’ knowledge of polyfunctional grammatical categories. I argue that the reflexives form a prototype-based network of partially overlapping grammatical patterns, organized by the… read more
