Faye Troughton, Lobke Ghesquière

Faye Troughton is currently working as a teaching assistant and researcher at the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation (FTI-EII) of the University of Mons, Belgium. She recently defended her doctoral thesis on English and French exclamative constructions and their translation, and her current research interests include how translation studies can contribute to wider linguistic theory.

Lobke Ghesquière is Associate professor and head of the English unit at the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation (FTI-EII) of the University of Mons, Belgium. She is also Research Fellow at the research group Functional and Cognitive linguistics: Grammar and Typology (KU Leuven). Since 2022 she has been Applied Linguistics Editor of the Benjamins journal English Text Construction. Her early research was mainly concerned with grammaticalization and (inter)subjectification phenomena in the English noun phrase, with a specific focus on intensification and focusing. More recently, her research has increasingly focused on corpus-based contrastive and translation research into subjectivity, including studies on degree and discourse-organisational adverbs and on exclamatives.
