Abstract

This special issue of Constructions on Swedish illustrates the versatility and
wide applicability of constructionist approaches. In their introduction to the
volume, Lyngelt and Wide first relate how construction grammar was introduced
and established in Swedish linguistics. Then they provide a brief introduction
to construction grammar as such. By way of Swedish examples, they illustrate
some of the central ideas in construction grammar, such as multigrain
generalizations and intermingling of linguistic levels. Finally, they present
the contributions to the volume: Jan Anward deals with recycling in
conversation; Sheila Dooley accounts for the comparative correlative ju ...
desto construction; Björn Hammarberg treats comparative constructions from the
viewpoint of acquisition; Jan Lindström and Anne-Marie Londen provide an
interactional account of concessive constructions; Nina Martola addresses the
relation between lexicon and grammar in the realization of passives; and Joel
Olofsson discusses productivity in motion constructions.
