Abstract:

The last decade has seen a rise in popularity in construction-based approaches
to grammar. Put simply, the various approaches within the rubric 'construction
grammar' all see grammar (morphemes, words, idioms, etc.) as fundamentally
constructions -- pairings of form and meaning.This is distinct from formal
syntax which sees grammar as a system of atomized units governed by formal
rules. Construction Grammar is connected to cognitive linguistics and shares
many of its philosophical and methodological assumptions. Advocates of
Construction Grammar see it as a psychologically-plausible, generative theory
of human language that can also account for all kinds of linguistic data. The
research programs it has spawned range from theoretical morphological and
syntactic studies to multidisciplinary cognitive studies in psycho-, neuro-,
and computational linguistics.

This Handbook is the first authoritative reference work solely dedicated to
the theory, method, and applications of Construction Grammar, and will be a
resource that students and scholars alike can turn to for a representative
overview of its many sub-theories and applications. It has 24 chapters divided
into 7 sections, with an introduction covering the theory's basic principles
and its relationship with other theories including Chomskyan syntax. The
book's readership lies in a variety of diverse fields, including corpus
linguistics, theoretical syntax, psycho and neurolinguistics, language
variation, acquisition, and computational linguistics.
