2023 Chapter 7. Layers of subordinate clauses: A view from causal af-því-að -clauses in Icelandic Micro- and Macro-variation of Causal Clauses: Synchronic and Diachronic Insights, Jędrzejowski, Łukasz and Constanze Fleczoreck (eds.), pp. 184–220 | Chapter
The main aim of this chapter is to examine adverbial causal af-því-að-clauses in modern Icelandic. Semantically, we argue that af-því-að-clauses can be interpreted as eventuality-related, as evidential or as speech-act-related causal clauses. Syntactically, we show that af-því-að-clauses can be… read more
2023 Chapter 7. Polish że ‘that’ as an elaboration marker: Language-internal and cross-linguistic perspectives Discourse Phenomena in Typological Perspective, Barotto, Alessandra and Simone Mattiola (eds.), pp. 167–199 | Chapter
This chapter discusses a colloquial spoken use of the Polish subordinating conjunction że (lit. ‘that’) as an elaboration marker. Mainly, we argue that że has a core meaning of elaboration spanning a continuum of context-dependent discourse slots. One extreme end of it sees the canonical… read more

In this introduction chapter, we depict the variation of adverbial clauses focusing on causal clauses in German. We briefly overview the most important findings both from a synchronic and diachronic point of view, and embed them into a more general discussion on adverbial clause-linkage. read more

In this chapter, we briefly overview the typological and diachronic research on olfactory expressions and point out possible further research questions. Essentially, we illustrate how linguistic olfactory terms interact with different areas of grammar, e.g. with morphology, and delineate some… read more
2016 All you need is another ‘Need’: On the verbal NPI cycle in the history of German* Cyclical Change Continued, Gelderen, Elly van (ed.), pp. 351–394 | Article
In this chapter, I will examine the verbal NPI cycle in the history of German including three NPIs: dürfen, bedürfen and brauchen. In doing so, I will illustrate that dürfen used to function as an NPI in older stages and that it lost its NPI status due to a semantic change. The received wisdom has… read more
2015 On the loss of copy-raising and the development of infinitive complements: The case of German beginnen ‘begin’ The Diachrony of Infinitival Patterns: Their origin, development and loss, Demske, Ulrike and Łukasz Jędrzejowski (eds.), pp. 72–109 | Article
This article deals with (non‑)finite complement clauses embedded under the inceptive phase predicate beginnen ‘begin’ in the history of German and illustrates how infinitives replaced finite clauses headed by the complementizer dass ‘that’. The main objective is to show that it was possible in Old… read more
