Abstract:

In this book, the micro-modular approach known as Tiernet within Conceptual
Semantics is introduced. Constructions make up an important part in the
approach, but in this approach constructions are considered to be exceptions,
licensed links between micro-modules, one of the kinds of symbolic modules in
the approach. Similar to construction grammar approaches, the micro-modular
approach takes a solid interest in the ‘periphery’ and thus also studies
irregular linking principles like constructions.

The book details particulars in the development of generative grammar and the
relation of Conceptual Semantics to this development, and then introduces the
micro-modular approach and shows its usefulness for the description of
language generally by not only using examples from English, but also, and in
particular, by applying the micro-modular approach of Conceptual Semantics to
data from Finnish.
