How effective is expressive? Consumer perceptions of new vernacular features in Facebook webcare responses
Mapping the spread of Dutch non-standard language use on corporate Facebook pages
This paper examines the online spread of non-standard Dutch in an unexplored communicative setting, i.e. complaint management on corporate Facebook pages. Based on a self-compiled corpus of consumer-company interactions taken from 6 corporate Facebook pages, we investigate to what extent typical features of informal social media communication spill over into more sensitive contexts of complaint management. We do so by mapping the presence and fre…

A Corpus-Based Analysis of V2 Variation in West Flemish and French Flemish Dialects
This paper explores V2 variation in West Flemish and French Flemish dialects of Dutch based on an extensive corpus of authentic spoken data. After taking stock of the existing literature, we probe into the effect of region, prosodic integration, form and function of the topicalized constituent, form of the subject, and the number of constituents in the prefield on (non)inverted word order. This is the first study that carries out regression analy…

Corpus-based translation studies
This paper provides an overview of state-of-the-art research in translation studies as represented in this special issue, with a special focus on corpus-based approaches that (re-)connect translation studies with other fields of corpus-based research in linguistics or which explore new types of translation data in the broadest possible sense of the term. It does so by singling out papers that illustrate different methods of data harvesting, on th…
Translating English non-human subjects in agentive contexts
While subjects of transitive action verbs in English and Dutch are typically realized as human agents (see Comrie 1989), both languages also feature instances of nonhuman agents in subject position. However, Vandepitte and Hartsuiker (2011) have shown that there are fewer options in Dutch and that translation issues present themselves in cases where both languages do not overlap. This paper wants to document overlap and differences in terms of no…

Introduction
In a very broad sense, verb classes can be defined as sets of verbs that share particular linguistic properties."Transitive" verbs, for instance, could be said to constitute a verb class on the basis of their shared grammatical property of being able to occur in transitive constructions.As such, this overarching property would encompass a very large set of verbal lexemes, which share the same general syntactic feature but may well form a quite he…
The syntactic flexibility of (new) verbs of instrument of communication
In this paper, the structural possibilities of well-established ‘verbs of instruments of communication’ (Levin 1993) such as telephone , fax and telegraph are compared with the syntactic possibilities of recent newcomers to the field such as skype and blackberry . The analysis, which is based on extensive web-based material shows that the structural possibilities of older members are more diverse than reported in previous studies, while the recen…
Constructional semantics on the move
In this article we tackle the issue of diachronic variation in constructional semantics through an exploration of the (recent) semantic history of the well-established English ditransitive or double object argument structure construction. Starting from the assumption that schematic syntactic patterns are not fundamentally different from lexical items, we will show that — similar to the diachronic semantic development of lexemes — the semantics of…
Caused motion’? The semantics of the English to-dative and the Dutch aan-dative
Both English and Dutch feature a variety of verbs of possessional transfer which display the phenomenon of dative alternation. They can either be used in a double object construction with unmarked NP theme and recipient objects or in a so-called “prepositional dative” construction in which only the theme is encoded as a bare NP object and the recipient is marked by a preposition. Within this context of dative alternation, this study zooms in on t…
Accounting for ditransitive constructions with envy and forgive
This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the English verbs envy and forgive in the ditransitive argument structure pattern [Sbj V Obj Obj]. Since the ditransitive construction is often associated with a basic ‘transfer of possession’ meaning in existing analyses of its constructional semantics, the occurrence of verbs like envy and forgive in this pattern is quite exceptional and has often been treated as an idiosyncratic use (see e.g. Green 1…
