Meeting Description: 

The aim of this workshop
(http://www.ling.su.se/om-oss/evenemang/workshops-och-konferenser/computing-le
arning-schematizing-and-typologizing-constructions-1.123663) is to gather
together researchers in Stockholm and vicinity who use the theoretical notion
of construction in their work. The expected outcome is that by sharing our
perspectives, we will arrive at a better understanding of the concept and
possibly also find ways for further collaboration and new projects.
