Hollmann, Willem B. 2014 Word classes: Towards a more comprehensive usage-based accountTheory and Data in Cognitive Linguistics, Gisborne, Nikolas and Willem B. Hollmann (eds.), pp. 211–238 | Article
Structuralists and generativists define word classes distributionally (Palmer 1971, Baker 2003, Aarts 2007), while cognitive linguists take a semantic (Langacker 1987a) or semantic-pragmatic approach (Croft 1991, 2001). Psycholinguistic research, by contrast, has shown that phonological properties… read more
Ponsford, Dan, Willem B. Hollmann and Anna Siewierska 2013 Sources of BETFunctions of Language 20:1, pp. 90–124 | Article
We investigate the sources of betting constructions, and specifically their predicates. The notion of risking something of value on an outcome is a complex one. Culturally, some degree of disposability of property is required. The concept is nevertheless lexicalized in many parts of the world.… read more

Hollmann, Willem B. 2007 From language-specific constraints to implicational universals: A cognitive-typological view of the dative alternationDitransitivity, Siewierska, Anna and Willem B. Hollmann (eds.), pp. 57–78 | Article
This article seeks to shed more light on the well-studied, yet still challenging, dative alternation. It starts from the cognitive-typological suggestion of Croft (2001, 2003) that language-internal variation is subject to the same constraints as cross-linguistic variation (the semantic map model),… read more

Unlike many other languages, English has three ditransitive constructions; a prepositional one in which the recipient or beneficiary is marked by a preposition and two double object constructions, one in which the recipient precedes the theme and the other in which the theme precedes the recipient.… read more
