PRIMING THROUGH CONSTRUCTIONAL DEPENDENCIES A CASE STUDY IN FLUID CONSTRUCTION GRAMMAR
The Evolution of Language, 2010According to recent developments in (computational) Construction Grammar, language processing occurs through the incremental buildup of meaning and form according to constructional specifications. If the number of available constructions becomes large however, this results in a search process that quickly becomes cognitively unfeasible without the aid ...

Towards a LIGHT Implementation of Fluid Construction Grammars
2009 Computation World: Future Computing, Service Computation, Cognitive, Adaptive, Content, Patterns, 2009The aim of this work in progress is twofold: first to find out a significant, as large as possible subset of the Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) formalism that can be supported by an efficient implementation, and second to check whether the LIGHT platform which until now was used for running large scale unification grammars can be (and if so, how it ...

Learning to Unlearn in Lattices of Concepts: A Case Study in Fluid Construction Grammars
2011 13th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing, 2011This paper outlines a couple of lattice-based (un)learning strategies proposed in a recent development of unification-based grammars, namely the Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) setup. These (un)learning strategies are inspired by two linguistic phenomena occurring in a dialect spoken in the Banat area of Romania.

Case Studies in Fluid Construction Grammar
2019Construction grammar enjoys great popularity among empirical linguists, typologists, psycholinguists, and language educators, because it puts meaning and function of language at the forefront of linguistic analysis. This book shows that construction grammar gives us also a powerful new way to conceive and implement operational parsing and production ...

Handling Scope in Fluid Construction Grammar: A Case Study for Spanish Modals
2012This paper demonstrates one way how the Spanish epistemic modal system can be implemented in Fluid Construction Grammar. Spanish is a Romance language with a rich morpho-phonological system that is characterized by paradigmatic stem changes, a considerable degree of syncretism in verbal suffixes and a sophisticated usage of modal markers.

Inflectional patterns as constructions
Constructions and Frames, 2012Although often a painful and prolonged process, conjugating verbs correctly is essential when you try to master a foreign language. Verbs that exhibit an irregular conjugation paradigm, however, are often the verbs that occur most frequently in a language.

Emergence of Hierarchy in Fluid Construction Grammar
2007One of the key properties of (natural) languages is that they are hierarchical. Phrases combine into larger phrases eventually covering complete sentences. The semantics of each phrase combine to form the complex meaning of the whole. A key question in explaining the origins and evolution of language is therefore how such hierarchical structures may ...

First Order Logic Concepts in Fluid Construction Grammar
2011This paper proposes a formal definition of Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) in terms of First Order Logic concepts, including its core inference operations unify and merge. Our aim is not only to clarify basic notions in FCG but also to provide a logical foundation for provably sound and efficient implementations.
