By exploring the analytic potential and applicability of this notion, the contributions illustrate some of the fundamental concerns of constructional research. These include issues of sentence structure in a model that rejects the autonomy of syntax; the contribution of Frame Semantics in establishing the relationship between syntactic patterning and the lexical meaning of verbs; and the challenge of capturing the dynamic and variable nature of grammatical structure in a systematic way. All the authors share a commitment to studying grammar in its use, which gives the book a rich empirical dimension that draws on authentic data from typologically diverse languages.Constructional approaches to language ;v. 4.Construction grammarLanguage and languagesGrammarsConstruction grammar.Language and languagesGrammars.415/.018Fried Mirjam1597720Boas Hans Christian1971-619421International Conference on Construction Grammar(1st :2001 :Berkeley, Calif.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825929703321Grammatical constructions4071514UNINA
