2022. On the interaction of core and emergent common ground in Internet memes. The Pragmatics of Internet Memes, Xie, Chaoqun (ed.), pp. 85–121
Internet memes are meaningful objects of diverse shapes that spread across networks of mediated participation (term from Milner 2012: 10). The distribution and reception of memes bears aspects of communicative interaction, because memes establish usage conventions. This paper will be concerned with… read more | Chapter

2020. On the interaction of core and emergent common ground in Internet memes. The Pragmatics of Internet Memes, Xie, Chaoqun (ed.), pp. 223–259
Internet memes are meaningful objects of diverse shapes that spread across networks of mediated participation (term from Milner 2012: 10). The distribution and reception of memes bears aspects of communicative interaction, because memes establish usage conventions. This paper will be concerned with… read more | Article
2020. Linguistic expressions as cultural units: How a cultural approach to language can facilitate the description of modern means of communication and expression. Intercultural Pragmatics and Cultural Linguistics, Schröder, Ulrike, Milene Mendes de Oliveira and Hans-Georg Wolf (eds.), pp. 121–145
The paper argues in favor of including cultural aspects in the description of communicative interaction. According to Eco (1976), a linguistic sign is a cultural unit. In order to use it properly, a speaker relies on communicative experience with this unit within a culture (Wittgenstein 1960;… read more | Article
2017. Pleonasm in particle verb constructions in German. Argument Realisation in Complex Predicates and Complex Events: Verb-verb constructions at the syntax-semantic interface, Nolan, Brian and Elke Diedrichsen (eds.), pp. 44–78
Verbs with separable prefixes are one of many existing realisations of discontinuous complex predicates in German. Their syntactic structure follows the widely described sentence bracket structure, in that the finite verb base opens the bracket at the second position in the sentence, while the… read more | Article

2014. A Role and Reference Grammar parser
for German. Language Processing and Grammars: The role of functionally oriented computational models, Nolan, Brian and Carlos Periñán-Pascual (eds.), pp. 105–142
This paper describes the development of a sentence parser for German based on Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). German has a number of characteristics which are very challenging to a computational approach to syntactic processing that is semantically motivated. These include the German sentence… read more | Article
2013. Auxiliary selection in German: Constructional gradience with perfect formation. Argument Structure in Flux: The Naples-Capri Papers, Gelderen, Elly van, Jóhanna Barðdal and Michela Cennamo (eds.), pp. 405–434
The phenomenon of variance in auxiliary selection with haben and sein for perfect formation is very well known from a number of languages, and it is widely discussed. Recent models assume that sets of ranked criteria act as the semantic basis for auxiliary selection. Sorace’s hierarchical model… read more | Article
2013. From idioms to sentence structures and beyond: The theoretical scope of the concept "Construction". Linking Constructions into Functional Linguistics: The role of constructions in grammar, Nolan, Brian and Elke Diedrichsen (eds.), pp. 295–330
The paper will explore the theoretical scope of the concept “construction”, as envisaged in Constructional approaches to grammar. Starting from the Role and Reference Grammar notion of Constructions, as represented in “Constructional Schemas”, it will be argued that Constructional Schemas as… read more | Article

2008. Where is the precore slot? Mapping the layered structure of the clause and German sentence topology. Investigations of the Syntax–Semantics–Pragmatics Interface, Van Valin Jr., Robert D. (ed.), pp. 203–224
The paper will account for the regularities of word order with German main declarative clauses by using the RRG framework. The question whether the so-called “Vorfeld” (“prefield”)-position can be equated with the RRG-notion of precore slot (PrCS) will be explored. It will be shown that operator… read more | Article
