‘The existential tendency’ in climate change education : an empirically informed typology Ghent University
Climate change education (CCE) brings about existential concerns of students. Teachers in turn are confronted with didactic demands to take into account the existential challenge climate change elicits. However, conceptual haziness about how to understand 'the existential' in CCE complicates didactic research on the topic, impedes researchers to get a nuanced understanding of 'the existential' in CCE, and, thus, hinders the development of ...

Dat ek so onnosel kon wees! An insubordination typology for Afrikaans KU Leuven
Evans (2007) defines insubordination as the conventionalised main clause use of what appear to be formally subordinate clauses. D’Hertefelt (2018) constructed an insubordination typology for six Germanic languages for both complement insubordinate constructions starting with that (and its equivalents in the other languages) as well as conditional insubordinate constructions starting with if. In this paper, we aim to extend both typologies to ...
Insubordination in Germanic: A typology of complement and conditional constructions KU Leuven
Insubordination in Germanic: A typology of complement and conditional constructions This PhD-research deals with independent or ‘insubordinate’ (Evans 2007) complement and conditional clauses in six Germanic languages, i.e. Dutch, English, German, Swedish, Danish and Icelandic. These structures are exemplified in (1) and (2) below: both clauses have the relevant formal properties of a subordinate clause (e.g. use of subordinators and ...
The diachronic typology of non-canonical subjects Ghent University
This volume is an important contribution to the diachrony of non-canonical subjects in a typological perspective. The questions addressed concern the internal mechanisms and triggers for various changes that non-canonical subjects undergo, ranging from semantic motivations to purely structural explanations. The discussion encompasses the whole life-cycle of non-canonical subjects: from their emergence out of non-subject arguments to their ...
Optional and alternating case marking: Typology and diachrony KU Leuven
© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd This paper presents a survey of the typology and diachrony of optional and alternating case marking, in the context of related phenomena such as referent- and construction-based splits. While there is much recent work in this area, driven by text-based approaches to language description, as well as quantitative and areal approaches to typology, the domain remains somewhat scattered, conceptually and ...
A usage-based typology of Dutch and German IPP verbs KU Leuven
The auxiliaries of the perfect canonically select a past participle (PSP) in the West-Germanic languages. In Dutch and German, however, some verbs take the infinitival form instead. The phenomenon is known as "Infinitivus Pro Participio" (IPP). This paper identifies the verbs which – obligatorily or optionally – take the IPP form in Dutch and German, and it proposes a new typology of those verbs. It builds on a number of existing lists and ...
English Variable tag questions: A typology of their interpersonal meanings KU Leuven
This study deals with English variable tag questions (henceforth TQ), i.e. utterances with a variable interrogative tag, e.g. It's very peculiar writing, isn't it. (ICE-GB), and the semi-variable tag innit, e.g. It's good, innit. (COLT). The variable tag is grammatically dependent on such elements of the anchor as its polarity, the finite element of its VP and its subject. The aim of the dissertation is to provide a corpus-based, comprehensive ...
