Abstract:

The papers in this volume provide a contrastive application of Construction 
Grammar. By referencing a well-described constructional phenomenon in 
English, each paper provides a solid foundation for describing and
analyzing its constructional counterpart in another language. This approach
shows that the semantic description (including discourse-pragmatic and
functional factors) of an English construction can be regarded as a first step
towards a "tertium comparationis" that can be employed for comparing and
contrasting the formal properties of constructional counterparts in other
languages. Thus, the meaning pole of constructions should be regarded as the
primary basis for comparisons of constructions across languages - the form pole
is only secondary. This volume shows that constructions are viable descriptive
and analytical tools for cross-linguistic comparisons that make it possible to
capture both language-specific (idiosyncratic) properties as well as
cross-linguistic generalizations.
