Concluding remarks --$tReferences --$tIndex 330 $aThis volume provides a much-needed, critical overview of the field of constructions and construction grammar in the context of Singapore English, and poses the question of identifying a construction in contact when the lexicon is derived from one language and the syntax from another. Case studies are illustrated in which the possibility of a 'merger'-construction is offered to resolve such problems. The book is intended for students of construction theories, variation studies, or any researcher of contact grammars 410 0$aLanguage contact and bilingualism ;$vVolume 11. 606 $aEnglish language$zSingapore$xGrammar$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish language$xCoordinate constructions$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zSingapore$vCase studies 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zSingapore$vCase studies 606 $aLanguage and culture$zSingapore$vCase studies 606 $aConstruction grammar$vCase studies 606 $aLanguages in contact$zSingapore$vCase studies 607 $aSingapore$xLanguages$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar 615 0$aEnglish language$xCoordinate constructions 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aConstruction grammar 615 0$aLanguages in contact 676 $a427/.95957 700 $aZiegeler$b Debra$0951807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460993003321 996 $aConverging grammars$92478143 997 $aUNINA
