We somehow managed to publish a paper on German in a journal on English and American studies - long story but happy to see this out, thanks @AlexWillich for the great collaboration!
🤓 Yet another new paper alert: @hartmast and I tried to bring together collostructional analysis and my ideas on a construction semantics, a frame-semantic extension of construction grammar. Check it out: degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

I am extremely humbled that my PhD work on Frame Semantics in Construction Grammar is discussed in a recent paper by none other than @hilpert_martin! As a working-class child who was never expected to do science, this is quite a thing to me. Thanks Martin! benjamins.com/catalog/cf.230…

Also, congrats to my dear @HHU_de colleague @AlexWillich, who was re-elected as general secretary, and to all other board members!
I‘m honored and humbled to be the new president of the German Cognitive Linguistics Association @DGKL_GCLA. DGKL has been my academic home ever since I attended my first DGKL conference in Freiburg in 2012, and I’m looking forward to working with such a wonderful board!
