Construction Grammar (CxG) has developed into a broad and highly diverse family of approaches that have in common that they see constructions, i.e. form-meaning pairs at various levels of abstraction and complexity, as the basic units of language. This Element gives an overview of the origin and the current state of the art of constructionist approaches, focusing, on the one hand, on basic concepts like the notion of 'constructions', while at the same time offering an in-depth discussion of current research trends and open questions. It discusses the commonalities and differences between the major constructionist approaches, the organization of constructional networks as well as ongoing research on linguistic creativity, multimodality and individual differences. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Reviews & endorsements
'[A] very useful resource and a worthy piece of writing. One of the main aims of introductory-level publications is to attract and ease new potential scholars into the field by delineating and describing the main concepts and showing the pathways and methods for further research. With this book, I believe the authors have struck the right balance of scientific relevance and user-friendliness to achieve this aim.' Frane Malenica, LINGUIST List
