Martin KonvičkaFor some time now, I’ve been working on the so-called "because X" construction, e.g. "I’m late because traffic". Primarily in English, German, Dutch, and Czech, but I’m interested in equivalents in other languages as well. I thought that it might be useful to share my open #Zotero library so that everyone who’s interested can add a paper that anyone working on #BecauseX should not miss.
PS: This is the first time I’m trying to share a Zotero library, so I’m not sure whether it’ll work or whether I’m doing something completely wrong. For that reason, I’d appreciate any feedback!
Tatjana Scheffler@TeapotLinguist Very cool! I can see it and it's interesting that there are so many papers just on that construction. Thanks for sharing!
Sascha Wolfer@TeapotLinguist It works perfectly fine. I've just added an article (Abel & Glaznieks 2020) where this construction is analyzed in CMC corpora.
