Abstract:

The present volume consists of several novel and different applications of
the Construction Grammar framework to areas such as language change,
variation, and the internal organization of grammar. The book is a
collection of articles which bring together the framework of Construction
Grammar and the constantly changing language system. Thereby, two main
questions are addressed which are of paramount interest to linguists
working with the notion of grammatical construction: Where do constructions
come from? And, how are the grammatical constructions in a given language
organized to form the coherent whole which we refer to as "grammar"? The
book connects the latest developments in grammatical theory and
Construction Grammar with empirical findings and data, language-specific
research traditions, and cross-language issues. It is aimed at linguists
interested in Construction Grammar, constructional approaches to grammar
more generally, language variation and change, and the internal
architecture of grammar.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
