- Abstract
Constructions: A Construction Grammar Approach to Argument Structure. The first major Construction Grammar publications started appearing in the second half of the 1980s and early 1990s (e.g. [3]; [1]; [2]; [4], [5]). These pioneering works zoomed in on a range of remarkable linguistic patterns from present-day English - including the I let alone i construction, the I way i construction, the ditransitive construction, the caused-motion construction, etc. - which they took as case studies for a groundbreaking theoretical proposal: the whole of grammar was to be seen as a structured network of conventionalized form-meaning pairings - "constructions" - at varying levels of schematicity and complexity.
