2020. How the Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization Model might enrich Diachronic Construction Grammar: The case of (the) thing is (that). The Wealth and Breadth of Construction-Based Research, Colleman, Timothy, Frank Brisard, Astrid De Wit, Renata Enghels, Nikos Koutsoukos, Tanja Mortelmans and María Sol Sansiñena (eds.), pp. 306–319
Explanations of language change in terms of Diachronic Construction Grammar generalize over gradual adaptations of the linguistic behaviour of individual speakers and communities. Presenting a diachronic case study of the pattern (the) (Adj) thing (clauserel) is (is) (that), I argue that the time… read more | Article
2018. Using data-mining to identify and study patterns in lexical innovation on the web: The NeoCrawler . The Dynamics of Lexical Innovation: Data, methods, models, Kerremans, Daphné, Jelena Prokić, Quirin Würschinger and Hans-Jörg Schmid (eds.), pp. 174–200
This paper presents the NeoCrawler – a tailor-made webcrawler, which identifies and retrieves neologisms from the Internet and systematically monitors the use of detected neologisms on the web by means of weekly searches. It enables researchers to use the web as a corpus in order to investigate the… read more | Article

Introduction
2017. Do the meanings of abstract nouns correlate with the meanings of their complementation patterns? A case study on English commissive shell nouns. Pragmatics & Cognition 24:1, pp. 91–118
There is a widespread assumption in Construction Grammar (but also before and elsewhere) that the meanings of verbs correlate with or even determine their complementation forms and patterns. There is much less research on noun complementation, however, although this category is even more… read more | Article
