  • Modalpartikeln und Gesten: Ansätze einer kontrastiven Betrachtung

    Open Access•Steven Schoonjan, Steven Schoonjans•ARTICLE•Linguistik Online•2026

    While different aspects of modal particles have been studied more or less intensively in the last decades, relatively little attention has been paid to the non-verbal side of their realization. This paper gives an overview of the most important results from gesture research on modal particles in German thus far and presents some observations on similar patterns in Dutch, French, and DGS (German Sign Language). It is shown that gestures do indeed …

  • Modal Particles in German

    Open Access•Steven Schoonjan, Steven Schoonjans•CHAPTER•Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics•2025

    Modal particles ( Modalpartikeln , often also called discourse particles) in German constitute a group of words that are used to add a particular intersubjective nuance, called Abtönung “downtoning,” to an utterance: they modify the illocutionary function of an utterance by indicating, for instance, the speaker's take on the utterance or on how it relates to the context, thereby giving an indication of how the interlocutor is expected to react. T…

  • Particules modales en allemand et en français: Plaidoyer pour une approche plus homogène

    Open Access•Steven Schoonjan, Steven Schoonjans•ARTICLE•Cahiers d’études germaniques•2025

    La question de savoir s’il est opportun de distinguer en français une catégorie de particules modales ne fait pas l’unanimité, et pour ceux qui en acceptent l’existence, les opinions sur son étendue divergent. Cette contribution aborde ces questions du point de vue de la linguistique allemande telle qu’elle est pratiquée dans les pays germanophones. Nous montrerons que les ressemblances entre l’allemand et le français dans ce domaine sont en fait…

  • Modalpartikeln als multimodale Konstruktionen: Eine korpusbasierte Kookkurrenzanalyse von Modalpartikeln und Gestik im Deutschen

    Open Access•Steven Schoonjan, Steven Schoonjans•BOOK•Modalpartikeln als multimodale…•2018

    Empirical approaches based on qualitative or quantitative methods of corpus linguistics have become a central paradigm within linguistics. The series takes account of this fact and provides a platform for approaches within synchronous linguistics as well as interdisciplinary works with a linguistic focus which devise new ways of working empirically and develop new data-based methods and theoretical models for empirical linguistic analyses.

  • Multimodal Construction Grammar issues are Construction Grammar issues

    Open Access•Steven Schoonjan, Steven Schoonjans•ARTICLE•Linguistics Vanguard•2017

    If multimodal work in terms of Construction Grammar is still rare nowadays, this is not just because the upsurge of multimodality in linguistics in general is rather recent. Attempts to include non-verbal layers of expression (especially gesture) in Construction Grammar have uncovered a number of theoretical issues that need to be reflected upon before any serious claims on the existence of multimodal constructions can be made. While some scholar…

  • Modal Particles in G erman

    Open Access•Steven Schoonjan, Steven Schoonjans•CHAPTER•Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics•2016

    This entry gives an overview of the research on modal particles in German. After a brief reference to the beginnings of modal particle research, an overview of the typical characteristics (both meaning and form) of German modal particles is presented. This is followed by a brief survey of open questions and main topics in present‐day particle research.

  • Vers une analyse multimodale du sens. Perspectives constructionnelles sur la gestualité co-grammaticale

    Steven Schoonjan, Steven Schoonjans et al.•ARTICLE•Langages•2016•Cited by: 3•References: 34

    La présente contribution vise à mieux cerner le statut de la gestualité en grammaire. À cet effet sont fournies deux études de cas sur les gestes co-grammaticaux indexicaux et iconiques. L'idée centrale de cette grammaire multimodale est que mots et gestes, au sens large, appartenant à des canaux sémiotiques à première vue incompatibles, se doivent d'être intégrés dans une seule construction, fidèle à l'hypothèse cognitiviste que les construction…
