Abstract:

It is one of the central claims of construction grammar that
constructions are organized in some kind of network, commonly referred
to as the constructicon. In the classical model of construction
grammar, developed by Berkeley linguists in the 1990s, the
constructicon is an inheritance network of taxonomically related
grammatical patterns. However, recent research in usage-based
linguistics has expanded the classical inheritance model into a
multidimensional network approach in which constructions are
interrelated by multiple types of associations. The multidimensional
network approach challenges longstanding assumptions of linguistic
research and calls for a reorganization of the constructivist
approach. This Element describes how the conception of the
constructicon has changed in recent years and elaborates on some
central claims of the multidimensional network approach.
