The construction of grammar knowledge [PDF]
Corela, 2012 In this paper we present a natural classroom study on the construction of grammar knowledge. Pupils in their last year of compulsory education (ages from 15 to 16) in a bilingual context (Castilian/Spanish and Catalan in Barcelona) carry on a ...

Relational Morphology: A Cousin of Construction Grammar [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Relational morphology (RM) is a novel approach to word structure that bears a close relation to construction grammar (CxG). Based on the parallel architecture framework, its basic question is: what linguistic entities are stored in long-term memory, and ...

Multimodality and construction grammar
Linguistics Vanguard, 2017 AbstractThe meaning-making process in face-to-face interaction relies on the integration of meaningful information being conveyed by speech as well as the tone of voice, facial expressions, hand and head gestures, body postures and movements (McNeill 1992; Kendon 2004). Hence, it is inherently multimodal. Usage-based linguistics attributes language use

Lexical Functional Grammar as a Construction Grammar
Journal of Language Modelling, 2023 Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) is a lexicalist, constraint-based grammatical theory that shares a lot of the basic assumptions of Construction Grammar (CxG), such as a commitment to surface-oriented descriptions (no transformations), and the ...

Multiword Constructions in the Grammar [PDF]
Topics in Cognitive Science, 2017 AbstractThere is ample evidence that speakers’ linguistic knowledge extends well beyond what can be described in terms of rules of compositional interpretation stated over combinations of single words. We explore a range of multiword constructions (MWCs) to get a handle both on the extent of the phenomenon and on the grammatical constraints that may ...

Introducing Construction Semantics (CxS): a frame-semantic extension of Construction Grammar and constructicography [PDF]
Linguistics Vanguard, 2022 Construction Semantics (CxS) uses FrameNet frames to capture the semantic properties of grammatical constructions. It closes a gap between Frame Semantics and usage-based Construction Grammar as well as providing a uniform format to implement frames into

Construction Grammar Provides Unique Insight into Neural Language Models [PDF]
CXGSNLP, 2023 Construction Grammar (CxG) has recently been used as the basis for probing studies that have investigated the performance of large pretrained language models (PLMs) with respect to the structure and meaning of constructions.
