Abstract:

The proposed framework of 'concept linking' combines insights of construction
grammar with those of traditional functional descriptions to explain
particularly challenging but often neglected areas of English grammar such as
negation, modality, adverbials and non-finite constructions. To reach this
goal the idea of a unified network of constructions is replaced by the triad
of verb-mediated constructions, attribution and scope-based perspectivizing,
each of them understood as a syntactically effective concept-linking mechanism
in its own right, but involved in interfaces with the other mechanisms.

In addition, 'concept linking' supplies a novel approach to early child
language. It casts  fresh light on widely accepted descriptions of early
two-word utterances and verb islands in usage-based models of language
acquisition and encourages a new view of children’s ‘mistakes’.

Intended readership: Constructionist and cognitive linguists; linguists and
psychologists interested in language acquisition; teachers and students of
English grammar and grammar in general.
