Multimodal stance-taking in interaction: A systematic literature review KU Leuven
Stance-taking, the public act of positioning oneself toward objects, people or states of affairs, has been studied in many fields of research. Recently, its multimodal realization in interaction has received increasing attention. The current contribution aims to take stock of research on multimodal stance-taking so far, and to present possible avenues for future research. We systematically gathered and appraised 76 articles that investigate the ...
Die kreative und interaktive Konstruierung mentaler Räume. Eine Fallstudie zum Phänomen des interaktiven Brainstorming KU Leuven
Cognitive approaches to linguistic creativity have focused primarily on the construction of hybrid or layered conceptualizations on the basis of a variety of cogni tive processes, including analogical reasoning, conceptual blending and compression, frame-shifting, deautomatization and many others. In the majority of linguistic studies, the focus is on the creative end product of these mechanisms, rather than on choices and pathways that lead to ...
Monitoring the pretence. Intersubjective grounding, gaze and irony KU Leuven
Cognitive-linguistic and pragmatic research on higher-order phenomena such as irony, sarcasm and hyperbole has focused on how these phenomena involve a form of (joint) pretence (Clark 1996, Barnden 2017, Tobin and Israel 2012, Dancygier and Sweetser 2014, Brône 2008).

In the present paper we zoom in on the perspective of the speaker and try to describe and quantify bodily behavior in ...
