Abstract:
This volume brings into focus the conceptual roots of the notion
'grammatical construction' as the theoretical entity that constitutes the
backbone of Construction Grammar, a unique grammatical model in which
grammatical constructions have the status of elementary building blocks of
human language. By exploring the analytic potential and applicability of
this notion, the contributions illustrate some of the fundamental concerns
of constructional research. These include issues of sentence structure in a
model that rejects the autonomy of syntax; the contribution of Frame
Semantics in establishing the relationship between syntactic patterning and
the lexical meaning of verbs; and the challenge of capturing the dynamic
and variable nature of grammatical structure in a systematic way. All the
authors share a commitment to studying grammar in its use, which gives the
book a rich empirical dimension that draws on authentic data from
typologically diverse languages.
