mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">The conference offers a
forum in which internationally leading linguists in the field
of construction grammar / language technology come together in
order to break new ground in creating a digital language
resource in the form of a FrameNet and Constructicon, both on
a monolingual and a multilingual basis. Empirically, the
overall aim is to systematically capture both grammar and
lexicon on a par as rich resources of meaningful concepts
(“frames”, “constructions”) and to document and compare them
across languages. With a special focus on multilingual issues,
the conference brings together researchers who are currently
involved in developing repositories of grammatical
constructions and frames in order to explore and refine the
design of a multilingual resource in methodological,
application-related and computational terms. It is hosted by
the German FrameNet & Constructicon project (<span
