Miriam Taverniers's research while affiliated with Ghent University and other places

... This difference may be due to the nature of these speech events. First, lectures are events in which lecturers convey, elaborate, and evaluate subject content (Basturkmen, 2016;Deroey & Taverniers, 2011;Lynch, 2011). Meanwhile, labs and tutorials are events in which students discuss with their tutors and other students the problems related to the lecture content (Adolphs & Carter, 2013;Basturkmen, 2016). ...

... This asymmetry suggests that the performance of people was influenced by the experimental setup and may not truthfully reflect a natural sensitivity to event culmination. 2. A recent corpus study by Métairy et al. (2020) suggests that resultative constructions (i.e. verb-satellite constructions) can indeed be attested in Spanish in the very particular case of nomination verbs (i.e. ...

... In short, the essay was written in a native-like style. 8 The overall essay showed a clear and logical presentation of the topic discussion with sound arguments toward the conclusion. Each paragraph at least contains any of the clause expansion types correctly distributed in sentences in the paragraph, nicely embedded in each sentence according to the purpose of clause expansion. ...

... Este trabajo se encuadra en la Lingüística Sistémica Funcional (LSF) que teoriza al lenguaje desde una perspectiva socio-semiótica en el marco de la cual el lenguaje y la sociedad se relacionan estrechamente no en términos de representación, es decir, en términos de la verbalización de las relaciones sociales, sino en términos de la evolución mutua como un mismo fenómeno (Barlett, 2019;Bowcher, Fontaine, y Schönthal, 2019). Para la LSF el lenguaje es un sistema estratificado que cumple distintas funciones simultáneamente a las que se refiere como las metafunciones ideacional, interpersonal y textual. ...

... Thus, while participants from CA construe their partners as Sensers, those from IT and HK construe them more as Sensers and Phenomena. In IT and HK RJs specifically, most of the mental cognitive processes (examples 16 and 17) are used in projecting clauses of the type I think, 4 I believe, and I guess, which signal an explicit subjective modulization where those projecting parts metaphorically serve as mood adjuncts (Halliday and Matthiessen, 2014: 184;Taverniers, 2018). In other words, they reflect interpersonal meanings of author subjectivity, personal opinion and also probability. ...

... Davidson et al. (2014) concluded that "natural sign language input does no harm and may mitigate negative effects of early auditory deprivation for spoken language development." Similar conclusions have emerged from a growing number of studies of DDCI children in various countries (Quadros et al. 2015, Mouvet et al. 2013, Rinaldi and Caselli 2014, Giezen et al. 2014, inter alia). Giezen (2011) concluded that "signed input should not be withheld from children with a CI, especially given its importance in stimulating early social and cognitive development, in the case of implant malfunctioning and in facilitating interactions with deaf peers without a CI. ...

... Apart from the definition given by Tavernier (2004) mentioned earlier, lexical metaphor has been defined by numerous linguistic scholars such as Newmark (1988, 104) who defines metaphor as "any figurative expression: the transferred sense of a physical word; the personification of an abstraction; the application of a word or collocation to what it does not literally denote, i.e., to describe one thing in terms of another." In Newmark's terms, metaphor includes all polysemous words and most English phrasal verbs and metaphors may be single, i.e., one word or extended, i.e., a collocation, an idiom, a sentence, a proverb, an allegory, and a complete imaginative text (Newmark 1988, 104). ...

... As regards spoken genres, it is lecture discourse that has received most attention since it is the most common teaching practice (Flowerdew, 1994;Swales, 1990). Studies on classroom discourse have contributed to identifying the types and frequency of interpersonal metadiscourse in educational settings (Bogdanović & Mirović, 2018;Zare & Tavakoli, 2016;Deroey & Taverniers, 2012;Morell, 2004), calling attention to teachers' speech while lecturing (Hyland, 2010;Bellés-Fortuño & Querol Julián, 2010). At this point, the use of digital resources should be highlighted. ...

... • Metadiscursive use of markers of importance or relevance (e.g. Crawford Camiciottoli, 2004;Ädel, 2010Deroey 2014Deroey , 2015Deroey & Taverniers, 2011, 2012a, 2012b • assessment-related expressions (Deroey & Taverniers, 2011;Deroey, 2014;Deroey & Johnson, forthcoming) (How) should the lecturer reference assessment? ...

... The Appraisal framework was explicitly coupled with the theory of impoliteness in a corpus study of reply articles in applied linguistics by Khosravi and Babaii (2017). After assuming that judgement is inherent in both politeness and impoliteness, the authors focus on this specific subsystem of Attitude (as particularly conducive to power negotiation and possibly even conflict) and examine 8. Comparable to speech acts (Taverniers 2011). instances of Judgement in accordance with Bousfield's (2008) model of impoliteness, which consists of two overarching strategies: off-record (indirect) and onrecord (explicit) impoliteness. ...
