Constructions are catenae: Construction Grammar meets Dependency Grammar

Cognitive Linguistics, 2012
Abstract The paper demonstrates that dependency-based syntax is in a strong position to produce principled and economical accounts of the syntax of constructs. The difficulty that constituency-based syntax has in this regard is that very many constructs fail to qualify as constituents.

Construction Grammar

2013
This chapter discusses the history and principles of Construction Grammar. It explains that Construction Grammar has its roots in the Saussurean notion of the linguistic sign, and the chapter outlines some of the unifying principles of constructional approaches to the architecture of language.

Construction grammar

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2010
AbstractConstruction grammar, or constructionist approaches more generally, emphasize the function of particular constructions as well as their formal properties. Constructions vary in their degree of generality, from words to idioms to more abstract patterns such as argument structure constructions, topicalization, and passive.

Computer assisted grammar construction

3rd International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1994), 1994
This paper presents a system for computer assisted grammar construction (CAGC). The CAGC system is designed to generate broad-coverage grammars for large natural language corpora by utilizing both an extended inside-outside algorithm and an automatic phrase bracketing (AUTO) system, which is designed to provide the extended algorithm with constituent ...

Construction of Pure Grammars

Fundamenta Informaticae, 2002
A construction is described assigning a pure grammar G_{mrn} to any language and to any integers 0≤m≤r≤n. This construction has the following property: If the sequence (G_{mrn})_{n≥r} has a limit G_{mr} for any r≥m and if the sequence (G_{mr})_{r≥m} has a limit, then the given language is generated by a pure grammar.

On a Construction of Context-free Grammars

Fundamenta Informaticae, 2000
The grammatical inference problem is solved for the class of context-free languages. A context-free language is supposed to be given by means of all its strings. Considering all strings of length bounded by k, context-free grammars G_{j,k} with 1≤j<k are constructed. A~continual increasing of the index~$k$ leads to an~infinite sequence (G_{j,k})_{j&

Constructions across Grammars

2016
Up to now, most research in Construction Grammar has focused on single languages, most notably English. This volume aims to broaden the scope of Construction Grammar towards issues in bi- and multilingualism, second language learning, and generalizations across different languages and language varieties.
