Abstract:

In constructionist theory, a constructicon is an inventory of constructions
making up the full set of linguistic units in a language. In applied practice,
it is a set of construction descriptions – a “dictionary of constructions”.
The development of constructicons in the latter sense typically means
combining principles of both construction grammar and lexicography, and is
probably best characterized as a blend between the two traditions. We call
this blend constructicography.

The present volume is a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of
constructicography. After a general introduction follow six chapters
presenting constructicon projects for English, German, Japanese, Brazilian
Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish, respectively, often in relation to a
framenet of the language. In addition, there is a chapter addressing the
interplay between linguistics and language technology in constructicon
development, and a final chapter exploring the prospects for interlingual
constructicography.

This is the first major publication devoted to constructicon development and
it should be particularly relevant for those interested in construction
grammar, frame semantics, lexicography, the relation between grammar and
lexicon, or linguistically informed language technology.
