2023 Examining novice writers’ perceptions of formality Journal of English for Research Publication Purposes 4:1, pp. 29–55
Adherence to standards pertaining to formality remains important for novice academic writers wishing to write within the scientific community. However, due to its elusive nature, it may not be clear what “formal” really means. This study investigates what affects novice writers’ perceptions of… read more | Article
2022 On learner characteristics and why we should model them as latent variables International Journal of Learner Corpus Research 8:2, pp. 237–260
Learner corpus research has a strong tradition of collecting metadata. However, while we tend to collect rich descriptive information about learners on directly measurable variables such as age, year of study, and time spent abroad, we frequently do not know much about learner characteristics that… read more | Article
2021 Testing the Principle of No Synonymy across levels of abstraction: A constructional account of subject extraposition Constructions and Frames 13:2, pp. 230–262
This corpus-based study tests the Principle of No Synonymy across levels of abstraction by examining the syntactic realizations of subject extraposition (e.g., it is important to, it seems that), and by investigating at which level(s) of formal description a difference in form also entails a… read more | Article
2021 Chapter 9. On the importance of register in learner writing: A multi-dimensional approach Corpus-based Approaches to Register Variation, Seoane, Elena and Douglas Biber (eds.), pp. 235–258
The present study explores the relative importance of register in learner writing vis-à-vis learner-internal factors such as first-language background. Using multi-dimensional analysis, the study looks at learner and native-speaker student writing from two registers (argumentative essays and… read more | Chapter

2020 Inter-rater reliability in Learner Corpus Research: Insights from a collaborative study on adverb placement International Journal of Learner Corpus Research 6:2, pp. 237–251
In Learner Corpus Research (LCR), a common source of errors stems from manual coding and annotation of linguistic features. To estimate the amount of error present in a coded dataset, coefficients of inter-rater reliability are used. However, despite the importance of reliability and internal… read more | Article
2020 Adverb placement in EFL academic writing: Going beyond syntactic transfer International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 25:2, pp. 156–185
The present study looks at adverb placement in expert writing and in first-language and second-language novice spoken and written production. The extent to which first-language (L1) transfer is still present in advanced learners’ written production is also investigated. The study uses data from one… read more | Article
2020 Chapter 5. Towards achieving work-life balance in academia: Comments and personal essays from six applied linguists Professional Development in Applied Linguistics: A guide to success for graduate students and early career faculty, Plonsky, Luke (ed.), pp. 49–64
The competing demands of teaching, research, and service seem to never end. Consequently, as academics, we often find ourselves feeling unable to realize our professional goals while also maintaining a life outside of work. Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all way to achieve or… read more | Chapter
2019 Grammatical stance marking across registers: Revisiting the formal-informal dichotomy Register Studies 1:2, pp. 243–268
There are sets of grammatical stance markers that are morphologically and semantically related, but that differ with regard to their syntactic realization (e.g., importantly, it is important that and the importance of). Little attention has, however, been paid to how these pattern across registers.… read more | Article
2019 Extraposition in learner and expert writing: Exploring (in)formality and the impact of register International Journal of Learner Corpus Research 5:1, pp. 33–62
Subject extraposition (e.g. it is important to remember) is generally considered to be a formal construction that learners, whose writing is often said to be overly informal, have been found to struggle with. This study investigates to what extent register and text type can be used to explore… read more | Article
2017 The importance of, it is important that or importantly? The use of morphologically related stance markers in learner and expert writing International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 22:1, pp. 57–84
The ability to successfully position oneself in relation to one’s claims through the use of stance markers is of central importance for academic writers. This study, which uses data from one expert corpus (LOCRA) and three learner corpora (ALEC, VESPA and BATMAT), investigates the use of… read more | Article
