In September 2025, at the 5th European Conference on Argumentation (ECA), I will present a corpus study on reasoning with conditionals by detectives, entitled From clue to culprit: epistemic conditionals in detective fiction. The conference is hosted by the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Administration and Social Sciences. Below you'll find the abstract. Hope to see you all there!

New publication in Argumentation: Assessing Classification Reliability...

— Posted in Taal & Literatuur by

As 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating', my new paper in Argumentation (Springer) entitled 'Assessing Classification Reliability of Conditionals in Discourse' addresses this issue by means of an experiment in which the inter-rater reliability of classifications applied to natural-language corpora was assessed.
