  • Cognitive Grammar

    Open AccessCheryl Paradis, Carita ParadisCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2026

    This entry offers a short description of the fundamental assumptions of grammar within the broad framework of Cognitive Linguistics. It presents the principles of usage‐based cognitive grammar (CG), classic works in the framework, and more recent treatments of grammatical structure and content in the form of examples of grammatical notions. Central to the CG approach is the meaningful functioning of language in all its guises and uses in text and…

  • Predictability effects in the processing of negation

    Open AccessSara Farshchi, Cheryl Paradis et al.ARTICLEBrain and Language2026Referencias: 40

    To examine whether processing of negated meanings is facilitated in highly predictable contexts and proceeds incrementally rather than with a delay, we asked participants to read highly constraining sentences containing negated adjectives (e.g., awake/responding/commercial) that were either strongly expected in a high-cloze condition (awake), weakly expected in a low-cloze condition (responding), or contextually inappropriate in a semantic violat…

  • Perceptual structure of opposites across sensory modalities

    Open AccessIvana Bianchi, Cheryl Paradis et al.ARTICLELanguage and Cognition2025Referencias: 52

    Situated at the junction of Cognitive Semantics and Experimental Phenomenology, this study investigates how participants perceive the structure of 18 perceptual dimensions of opposites across the visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory and olfactory sensory modalities. The structures include three components: two poles ( high ; low ) and an intermediate ( neither high nor low ). Participants were asked to provide examples of contexts for each dimens…

  • Lexical Semantics

    Open AccessCheryl Paradis, Carita ParadisCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2024

    This entry offers a short description of basic research questions, different theories, and topics in lexical semantic research. At the beginning, it states five fundamental questions that all lexical semantics theories need to attend to in descriptions and explanations of their observations and findings. A brief presentation of past and present theoretical approaches on lexical semantics follows, in the light of their answers to the fundamental q…

  • Sensory modality profiles of antonyms

    Open AccessJoost Van De Weijer, Ivana Bianchi et al.ARTICLELanguage and Cognition2024

    Adjectives that are used to describe sensory experiences are often used to express more than one modality. The adjective sweet , for instance, may primarily be associated with taste (i.e., taste is the dominant modality of sweet), but it can also be used for smell, sound or sight, and possibly even for touch. It has also been shown that some sensory modalities combine more easily than others. Many adjectives that are used to describe taste, for i…

  • Everything -cleft constructions in spoken British English

    Open AccessEleni Seitanidi, Nele Põldvere et al.ARTICLEFunctions of Language2024

    Within the framework of Construction Grammar, this study examines constructions with a cleft form containing everything , e.g., that’s everything that’s happened , in spoken British English, using the London-Lund Corpora and the British National Corpora. We trace the development of everything -clefts in recent history and make comparisons with all -clefts since both all and everything express totality . Our aim is to determine the form-meaning pr…

  • The language of sound

    Open AccessJenny Hartman, Cheryl ParadisARTICLECognitive Linguistics2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 7

    The focus of much sensory language research has been on vocabulary and codability, not how language is used in communication of sensory perceptions. We make a case for discourse-oriented research about sensory language as an alternative to the prevailing vocabulary orientation. To consider the language of sound in authentic textual data, we presented participants with 20 everyday sounds of unknown sources and asked them to describe the sounds in …

  • All-cleft constructions in the London-Lund Corpora of spoken English

  • Figurative meaning in multimodal work by an autistic artist

    Open AccessJenny Hartman, Cheryl ParadisARTICLELanguage and Cognition2021

    Research on figurative meaning in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) would benefit from considering a greater variety of data types and using more diverse methods. Previous studies have predominantly applied experimental methods to investigate processing of figurative language (mostly metaphor) and have for the most part concluded that individuals with ASD have deficits in figurative language comprehension. In this study, we focus on the creation and…

  • Resonance in dialogue

    Open AccessNele Põldvere, Victoria Johansson et al.ARTICLELanguage and Cognition2021

    Dialogic resonance, when speakers reproduce constructions from prior turns, is a compelling type of coordination in everyday conversation. This study takes its starting point in resonance in stance-taking sequences with the aim to account for the interplay between intersubjective motivations and cognitive facilitation in resonance production. It analyzes stance-taking sequences in the London–Lund Corpus 2, determining (i) the type of stance align…

  • On The London–Lund Corpus 2

    Open AccessNele Põldvere, Victoria Johansson et al.ARTICLEEnglish Language and Linguistics2021

    This article describes and critically examines the challenging task of compiling The London–Lund Corpus 2 (LLC–2) from start to end, accounting for the methodological decisions made in each stage and highlighting the innovations. LLC–2 is a half-a-million-word corpus of contemporary spoken British English with recordings from 2014 to 2019. Its size and design are the same as those of the world's first machine-readable spoken corpus, The London–Lu…

  • Special issue on spoken language in time and across time

    Open AccessCheryl Paradis, Carita Paradis et al.ARTICLEEnglish Language and Linguistics2021

    The idea of this special issue on Spoken language in time and across time emerged at an international symposium on this topic that we organised at Lund University on 20 September 2019. The purpose of the symposium was to celebrate important past and present achievements of spoken language research as well as past and present corpora available for such research. Some speakers reported on academic and technical advances from the past, while others …

  • Soundscapes in English and Spanish

    Open AccessRosario Caballero, Cheryl ParadisARTICLELanguage and Cognition2020

    This corpus study explores how sound events are communicated in English and Spanish. The aims are to (i) contribute production data for a better understanding of the couplings of meanings and their realizations, (ii) account for typological differences between the languages, and (iii) further the theoretical discussion of how sound is conceptualized through the window of language. We found that, while there are significant differences between the…

  • Motivations and mechanisms for the development of the reactive what-x construction in spoken dialogue

  • Emotive and sensory simulation through comparative construal

    Jenny Hartman, Cheryl ParadisARTICLEMetaphor and Symbol2018

    Using authentic textual data from written personal narratives, we investigate how individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Tourette Syndrome mediate their emotive and sensory experiences through language. Our study reveals that experiential comparisons of different kinds (Trying not to tic is like trying not to blink) feature prominently as means of conveying such experiences. We identify a num…

  • Verbs in speech framing expressions

    Open AccessRosario Caballero, Cheryl Paradis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Linguistics2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 3

    In this study, we explore how direct speech is portrayed in English and Spanish Speech Framing Expressions (SFEs). The study has two aims. Firstly, we survey the use of verbs in SFEs and offer a comprehensive inventory of those verbs in English and Spanish as representatives of Germanic and Romance languages respectively in order to determine what verb meanings are used to cue direct speech, what lexical resources express these meanings, and how …

  • Making sense of sensory perceptions across languages and cultures

    Rosario Caballero, Cheryl ParadisARTICLEFunctions of Language2015

    This article has two aims: (i) to give an overview of research on sensory perceptions in different disciplines with different aims, and on the basis of that (ii) to encourage new research based on a balanced socio-sensory-cognitive approach. It emphasizes the need to study sensory meanings in human communication, both in Language with a capital L, focusing on universal phenomena, and across different languages, and within Culture with a capital C…

  • The in-group and out-groups of the British National Party and the UK Independence Party

    Robin Engström, Cheryl Paradis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Language and Politics2015Referencias: 15

    This article investigates the self-presentation and the construction of immigration discourses in articles and policy documents published by the British National Party (BNP) and the UK Independence Party (UKIP). By combining corpus analysis with the Discourse-Historical Approach to Critical Discourse Analysis, a picture emerges of two parties whose use of language is governed by the same principle of differentiation. Fundamental to the BNP’s and …

  • Semantic profiles of antonymic adjectives in discourse

    Open AccessCheryl Paradis, Carita Paradis et al.ARTICLELinguistics2015Citada por: 2

    This study has two goals: First, to give an account of the semantic organization of individually used antonymic adjectives in discourse and second, based on those findings and previous work on antonymic meanings, to contribute to a comprehensive theoretical account of their representation within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics. The hypothesis is that the members of the pairs are used in the same contexts and in the same type of constructio…

  • Describing Sensory Experience

    Cheryl Paradis, Mats Eeg-Olofsson et al.ARTICLEMetaphor and Symbol2013

    The purpose of the article is to shed light on how experiences of sensory perceptions in the domains of vision, smell, taste, and touch are recast into text and discourse in the genre of wine reviews. Because of the alleged paucity of sensory vocabularies, in particular in the olfactory domain, it is of particular interest to investigate what resources language has to offer in order to describe those experiences. We show that the main resources a…

  • Lexical Semantics

    Open AccessCheryl Paradis, Carita ParadisCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2012

    Lexical semantics is an academic discipline concerned with the meaning of words.

  • Antonyms in English

    Open AccessSteven Jones, M Lynne Murphy et al.BOOKAntonyms in English2012

    The study of antonyms (or 'opposites') in a language can provide important insight into word meaning and discourse structures. This book provides an extensive investigation of antonyms in English and offers an innovative model of how we mentally organize concepts and how we perceive contrasts between them. The authors use corpus and experimental methods to build a theoretical picture of the antonym relation, its status in the mind and its constru…
