📍Earlier today in the research group *Language, Culture and Transformative Practices*, Roskilde University, Denmark. A research group full of organised, playful and creative interactions - and thank you @GustavGaardbo for leading us in play today! #ideageneration #socially #sustainable #research

*Idioms and Idiomaticity*, by Chitra Fernando. A lonely and forgotten, but superb monograph from mid-90s. Rediscovered it on my shelf. The ryebread, egg and coffee = nostalgia, atmosphere

Reading now:

Section 3 👀: “A constructional approach to hell: The devil is in the schema”. 👹@steffenhoeder.de on “Constructional Approaches to Nordic Languages” #constructiongrammar #devil

On a Danish 🚂 🚃🚃🚃. Again. Writing about “landscape constructions” in Nordic languages. But I have come to somehow dislike this English word “landscape” and all other kinds of -scapes - and the spectator bias it represents 🖼️. #linguistics #CxG

Also 2024, with Zhengdao Ye and a group of amazing colleagues 🤩:

“The Cultural Pragmatics of Danger: Cross-linguistic perspectives”

In the legendary “Pragmatics and Beyond New Series” 😊
