Boye, Kasper and Peter Harder 2022 Grammaticalization and pragmaticsHandbook of Pragmatics: Manual, Verschueren, Jef and Jan-Ola Östman (eds.), pp. 696–709 | Chapter
Functional-cognitive linguists are typically more interested in what is shared between grammar and other aspects of language than in what is special about grammar. Construction grammar as the currently most prominent functional-cognitive theory of grammar explicitly downplays the grammar-lexicon… read more

After a period when the focus was essentially on mental architecture, the cognitive sciences are increasingly integrating the social dimension. The rise of a cognitive sociolinguistics is part of this trend. The article argues that this process requires a re-evaluation of some entrenched positions… read more
Cognitive Linguistics has demonstrated the applicability of a conceptual approach to the understanding of political issues, cf. Lakoff (2008) and many others. From a different perspective, critical discourse analysis has approached political concepts with a focus on issues involving potentially… read more

Harder, Peter 2011 Conceptual construal and social constructionCognitive Linguistics: Convergence and Expansion, Brdar, Mario, Stefan Th. Gries and Milena Žic Fuchs (eds.), pp. 305–324 | Article
This chapter focuses on what happens when “emerged” concepts acquire a role in the social process: where concepts go, rather than where they come from. Conceptual construal is seen as the mind-internal end of a process that also involves social ‘construction’. The relationship is discussed in… read more
Boye, Kasper and Peter Harder 2009 Evidentiality: Linguistic categories and grammaticalizationEvidentiality in language and cognition, Ekberg, Lena and Carita Paradis (eds.), pp. 9–43 | Article
This article takes up two closely connected theoretical unclarities: the questions of what a linguistic category is, and what it means for linguistic elements to have grammatical rather than lexical status. The two issues are discussed with reference to the case of evidentiality. The point of… read more

Harder, Peter 2009 CommunicationKey Notions for Pragmatics, Verschueren, Jef and Jan-Ola Östman (eds.), pp. 62–85 | Article
Both functional and formal approaches frequently suggest that structural and semantic categories ultimately match up (possibly even universally). They arrive at this result, however, via different descriptive strategies: most functionbased approaches set up structures primarily based on… read more
Boye, Kasper and Peter Harder 2007 Complement-taking predicates: Usage and linguistic structureStudies in Language 31:3, pp. 569–606 | Article
In recent years, there has been considerable discussion about the nature of clausal subordination (cf., for instance, Schilperoord & Verhagen 1998, Verhagen 2001, Verhagen to appear, Diessel & Tomasello 2001, Thompson 2002). One of the foci has been the status of complement clauses of… read more
This contribution addresses the interface between grammar and discourse. It approaches grammar as a socially recognized procedure for coding, with a cognitive basis in individual language users. However, it emphasizes the need to distinguish the cognitive representation of grammar from the flow of… read more
