2024 “I never said that”: Negotiating misunderstandings in police interviews Pragmatics and Society: Online-First Articles | Article
Police interviewers in England and Wales engage in the practice of investigative interviewing that is based on obtaining neutral, institutionally accepted account from suspects. This involves a process not only of eliciting information from suspects, but also of managing the interview by… read more
2023 Evidential meanings in native and learner Japanese and English: Implications for the assessment of speaker certainty Pragmatics and Society 14:3, pp. 484–508 | Article
Evidentiality is a linguistic category that comprises forms and meanings related to the source of information in utterances, the use of which may impact judgments about the degree of certainty expressed by a speaker.

A number of significant intratypological differences emerge due to the processes that drive the lexicalization of motion events in Serbo-Croatian,namely morphological blocking and combinatory potential Filipović 2007a). These two morphosyntactic processes restrict the use of manner verbs and… read more

Talmy’s (1985) typology proposes a classification of languages on the basis of their lexicalization patterns. All languages exhibit the tendency to code either manner or path of motion in the verb, and thus are divided accordingly into two main typological groups. The fact that languages code… read more
