Tsikulina, Alina, Fayssal Tayalati and Efstathia Soroli 2024 English tough -constructions and their analogues in French and Russian: A parallel corpus investigation Languages in Contrast: Online-First Articles | Article

Evaluative constructions involving tough-predicates (e.g., This hill is difficult to climb) present atypical structure-to-meaning mappings and vary across languages: in some languages (e.g., English/French), speakers typically use so-called tough-constructions (TCs) in which the syntactic… read more

In the last few decades there have been several attempts to connect language use with cognitive mechanisms underlying event representation.

Hickmann, Maya †, Helen Engemann, Efstathia Soroli, Henriëtte Hendriks and Coralie Vincent 2017 Chapter 2. Expressing and categorizing motion in French and English: Verbal and non-verbal cognition across languages Motion and Space across Languages: Theory and applications, Ibarretxe-Antuñano, Iraide (ed.), pp. 61–94 | Chapter

Language-specific properties influence motion expression (Slobin 2004; Talmy 2000), but it is still debated whether they also influence non-verbal spatial cognition. We compare how English and French speakers perform three tasks involving motion events: non-verbal categorization based on cartoons… read more

The present study investigates: 1) the extent to which such… read more
