Arie Verhagen is presently professor of Language, Culture, and Cognition at Leiden University (The Netherlands), and a Research Leader at the University of Antwerp (Belgium). He previously held positions at the Free University in Amsterdam and the University of Utrecht. From 1996 till 2004, he served as editor-in-chief of the journal Cognitive Linguistics. His grammatical work includes studies on word order, passive, causative, connectives, wh-questions, complementation, and other construction types. With his 2005 monograph /Constructions of Intersubjectivity. Discourse, Syntax, and Cognition/ (Oxford University Press), he contributed to the so-called ‘social turn’ in cognitive linguistics. He has been a (co)supervisor in a number of externally funded interdisciplinary projects, on topics such as comparing cultural evolution in human language and bird song, computational modeling of language acquisition and language change, stylistics and rhetoric in literature and non-fiction, and dialogues in past and present communication. His research is framed in a (radically) usage-based approach (see Geeraerts 2016 for a recent overview), and focuses especially on the connection between grammar, discourse, and the highly developed human ability to understand other minds, as a basis for cooperation; a recent result is the volume Viewpoint and the Fabric of Meaning (De Gruyter, 2016, co-edited with Barbara Dancygier and Wei-lun Lu).
