Lieven Vandelanotte obtained his MA in Language and Literature: Germanic Languages (English and Dutch) from the University of Leuven in July 2000. From October to December 2000, he was appointed as a project researcher to the project The impact of syntactic variation: Prepositional phrases vs bare nominals (OT/95/5), and from January to September 2001 to the project Categorization and instantiation in the nominal group: A functional approach to the English nominal group (FWO G.0218.01). From October 2001 to August 2005, he worked as a researcher of the Fund for Scientific Research - Flanders (FWO). He completed his dissertation on the syntagmatic structure, deixis and expressivity, and semantics of types of speech or thought representation in English, supervised by Kristin Davidse, in March 2005. In September 2005 he moved to the University of Namur where he is currently associate professor in English language and linguistics and Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, while he remains a research fellow in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Leuven.
He has published articles and book chapters in the areas of the English noun phrase and speech and thought representation, and is also interested more broadly in the application of cognitive-linguistic concepts to the study of literary texts. In 2009 he published the monograph Speech and thought representation in English: A cognitive-functional approach (Topics in English Linguistics 65, De Gruyter Mouton). He co-edited, with Kristin Davidse and Hubert Cuyckens, the volume Subjectification, intersubjectification, and grammaticalization (Topics in English Linguistics 66, De Gruyter Mouton, 2010), and, with Barbara Dancygier and José Sanders, the volume Textual choices in discourse: A view from cognitive linguistics(Benjamins Current Topics 40, John Benjamins, 2012) and is the linguistics editor for the journal English Text Construction (John Benjamins).
