Abstract:

This volume brings together ten contributions by leading experts who present
their current usage-based research in Diachronic Construction Grammar. All
papers contribute to the discussion of how to conceptualize constructional
networks best and how to model changes in the constructicon, as for example
node creation or loss, node-external reconfiguration of the network or
in/decrease in productivity and schematicity. The authors discuss the
theoretical status of allostructions, homostructions, constructional families
and constructional paradigms. The terminological distinction between
constructionalization and constructional change is revisited. It is shown how
constructional competition but also general cognitive abilities like
analogical thinking and schematization relate to the structure and
reorganization of the constructional network. Most contributions focus on the
nature of vertical and horizontal links. Finally, contributions to the volume
also discuss how existing network models should be enriched or
reconceptualized in order to integrate theoretical, psychological and
neurological aspects missing so far.
