Frequency vs. Association for Constraint Selection in Usage-Based Construction Grammar [PDF]
Proceedings of the Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics, 2019 A usage-based Construction Grammar (CxG) posits that slot-constraints generalize from common exemplar constructions. But what is the best model of constraint generalization?

The FCG Editor: An innovative environment for engineering computational construction grammars.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Since its inception in the mid-eighties, the field of construction grammar has been steadily growing and constructionist approaches to language have by now become a mainstream paradigm for linguistic research. While the construction grammar community has

Multimodal Construction Grammar issues are Construction Grammar issues [PDF]
Linguistics Vanguard, 2017 Abstract If multimodal work in terms of Construction Grammar is still rare nowadays, this is not just because the upsurge of multimodality in linguistics in general is rather recent. Attempts to include non-verbal layers of expression (especially gesture) in Construction Grammar have uncovered a number of theoretical issues that need to ...

Distributional Semantics Meets Construction Grammar. towards a Unified Usage-Based Model of Grammar and Meaning [PDF]
Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Designing Meaning Representations, 2019 In this paper, we propose a new type of semantic representation of Construction Grammar that combines constructions with the vector representations used in Distributional Semantics. We introduce a new framework, Distributional Construction Grammar, where

The Compactness of Construction Grammars
, 1995 We present an argument for {\em construction grammars} based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle (a formal version of the Ockham Razor). The argument consists in using linguistic and computational evidence in setting up a formal model, and then applying the MDL principle to prove its superiority with respect to alternative models. We show

Construction Grammar meets Phraseology: eine Standortbestimmung
Linguistik Online, 2018 In the 1980s, the very idea of a constructionist approach to grammar was considerably motivated by the observation that irregular syntactic structures and semantic idiomaticity constitute a major part of a language.

Diachronic construction grammar and grammaticalization theory [PDF]
, 2007 Grammaticalization theorists are becoming increasingly aware of the relevance of constructions to their discipline, to the point that one of its leading exponents has recently defined grammaticalization as the creation of new constructions.

Construction Grammar and Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2023 In this chapter, we argue that it is highly beneficial for the contemporary construction grammarian to have a thorough understanding of the strong relationship between the research fields of construction grammar and artificial intelligence.
