2020 Progressive or not progressive? Modeling the constructional choices of EFL and ESL writers Tense and Aspect in Second Language Acquisition and Learner Corpus Research, Fuchs, Robert and Valentin Werner (eds.), pp. 83–110 | Chapter
This multifactorial analysis of progressive marking contrasts native English to two Asian Englishes and Dutch English. Specifically, we (i) model writers’ constructional choices (progressive vs. non-progressive) across Englishes based on several linguistic predictors simultaneously, (ii) assess… read more
2019 The indicative vs. subjunctive alternation with expressions of possibility in Spanish: A multifactorial analysis International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 24:1, pp. 67–97 | Article
This study explores the indicative vs. subjunctive alternation in Spanish subordinate clauses following epistemic adverbials and expressions of possibility. Anchored in semantic-pragmatic and variationist theoretical frameworks, traditional research on mood alternation in Spanish remains largely… read more
2018 Does the passé composé influence L2 learners’ use of English past tenses? A semantic exploration of the present perfect in French-English interlanguage International Journal of Learner Corpus Research 4:1, pp. 23–53 | Article
This study explores the uses of the present perfect (PP) and simple past (SP) by French learners of English and assesses how those uses differ from those in native English and those of the passé composé (PC) in native French which, semantically, overlaps with PP and SP. Methodologically, the… read more
2018 Modeling World Englishes in the 21st century: A thematic introduction Modeling World Englishes: Assessing the interplay of emancipation and globalization of ESL varieties, Deshors, Sandra C. (ed.), pp. 1–14 | Chapter
2018 Modeling World Englishes in the 21st century: New reflections on model-making Modeling World Englishes: Assessing the interplay of emancipation and globalization of ESL varieties, Deshors, Sandra C. (ed.), pp. 281–294 | Chapter
This chapter seeks to bring together all the contributions in the volume. We identify converging lines of argumentation and findings across the studies featured in the book and we show how the approaches they adopt and the linguistic patterns they uncover shed new light on globalized Englishes, the… read more
2018 The progressive versus non-progressive alternation: A semantic exploration across World Englishes English World-Wide 39:3, pp. 309–337 | Article
This corpus-based study focuses on the alternation between progressive and non-progressive constructions in native and non-native varieties. We adopt a quantitative-qualitative approach starting with a collostructional analysis of the two constructions to assess association strengths between… read more
2018 Linguistic innovations in EFL and ESL: Rethinking the linguistic creativity of non-native English speakers Rethinking Linguistic Creativity in Non-native Englishes, Deshors, Sandra C., Sandra Götz and Samantha Laporte (eds.), pp. 1–20 | Introduction
2018 Progressive or not progressive? Modeling the constructional choices of EFL and ESL writers Tense and aspect in Second Language Acquisition and Learner Corpus Research, Fuchs, Robert and Valentin Werner (eds.), pp. 225–252 | Article
This multifactorial analysis of progressive marking contrasts native English to two Asian Englishes and Dutch English. Specifically, we (i) model writers’ constructional choices (progressive vs. non-progressive) across Englishes based on several linguistic predictors simultaneously, (ii) assess… read more
2017 Structuring subjectivity in Asian Englishes: Multivariate approaches to mental predicates across genres and functional uses English Text Construction 10:1, pp. 132–164 | To be specified
This study investigates the usage patterns of four near-synonymous mental predicates (believe, guess, suppose and think) across three Asian ESL (English as a Second Language) varieties as well as British and American Englishes. Using two multivariate techniques, multiple correspondence analysis… read more
2016 Inside phrasal verb constructions: A co-varying collexeme analysis of verb-particle combinations in EFL and their semantic associations International Journal of Learner Corpus Research 2:1, pp. 1–30 | Article
This study investigates 2,909 phrasal verbs [PVs] in (in)transitive constructions across native English and French- and German-English interlanguages (ILs). Recent work by Gilquin (2014) shows that, as verb-particle combinations, PVs associate more or less strongly with particular syntactic… read more
2016 Profiling verb complementation constructions across New Englishes: A two-step random forests analysis of ing vs. to complements International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 21:2, pp. 192–218 | Article
In this paper, we explore verb complementation patterns with to and ing in native English (British and American English) as compared to three Asian Englishes (Hong Kong, Indian, and Singaporean English). Based on data from the International Corpus of English annotated for variables describing the… read more
2016 Linguistic innovations in EFL and ESL: Rethinking the linguistic creativity of non-native English speakers Linguistic Innovations: Rethinking linguistic creativity in non-native Englishes, Deshors, Sandra C., Sandra Götz and Samantha Laporte (eds.), pp. 131–150 | Article
2015 A multifactorial approach to gerundial and to-infinitival verb-complementation patterns in native and non-native English English Text Construction 8:2, pp. 207–235 | Article
This multifactorial corpus-based study focuses on verb-complementation constructions (Marcus started to draw a picture vs. Marcus started drawing a picture) and contrasts 3,119 occurrences of gerundial and to-infinitival constructions across native and non-native (ESL) English varieties. Using… read more
2015 EFL and/vs. ESL? A multi-level regression modeling perspective on bridging the paradigm gap International Journal of Learner Corpus Research 1:1, pp. 130–159 | Article
The study of learner language and that of indigenized varieties are growing areas of English-language corpus-linguistic research, which are shaped by two current trends: First, the recognition that more rigorous methodological approaches are urgently needed (with few exceptions, existing work is… read more
2014 A case for a unified treatment of EFL and ESL: A multifactorial approach English World-Wide 35:3, pp. 277–305 | Article
This multifactorial corpus-based study focuses on dative alternation constructions (Mark gave his daughter a gift versus Mark gave a gift to his daughter) and contrasts 1,313 give occurrences in ditransitive and prepositional dative constructions across native, learner (EFL) and world (ESL)… read more
2014 A case for the multifactorial assessment of learner language: The uses of may and can in French-English interlanguage Corpus Methods for Semantics: Quantitative studies in polysemy and synonymy, Glynn, Dylan and Justyna A. Robinson (eds.), pp. 179–204 | Article
In this study, we apply Gries and Divjak’s Behavioral Profile approach to compare
native English can and may, learner English can and may, and French pouvoir.
We annotated over 3,700 examples across three corpora according to more
than 20 morphosyntactic and semantic features and we analysed the… read more
