  • Construction Grammar

    by Thomas Hoffmann ...
    Series series Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics
    What do speakers of a language have to know, and what can they 'figure out' on the basis of that knowledge, in order for them to use their language successfully? This is the question at the heart of Construction Grammar, an approach to the study of language that views all dimensions of language as equal contributors to shaping linguistic expressions. The trademark characteristic of Construction ... Read more

  • English Comparative Correlatives

    Diachronic and Synchronic Variation at the Lexicon-Syntax Interface

    by Thomas Hoffmann ...
    Series series Studies in English Language
    One of the most intriguing features of languages is that speakers can produce novel grammatical utterances that they have never heard before. Consequently, most linguists agree that the mental grammars of speakers are complex systems that must be more abstract than the input they are exposed to.

  • Creative Construction Grammar

    by Thomas Hoffmann, Mark Turner ...
    Series series Elements in Cognitive Linguistics
    Constructions are long-term pairings in memory of form and meaning. How are they created and learned, how do they change, and how do they combine into new utterances (constructs, communicative performances) in working memory? Drawing on evidence from word-formation (blending, Noun-Noun-compounds) over idioms and argument structure constructions to multimodal communication, we argue that ... Read more

  • Copilots for Linguists

    AI, Constructions, and Frames

    by Tiago Timponi Torrent, Thomas Hoffmann, Arthur Lorenzi Almeida, Mark Turner ...
    Series series Elements in Construction Grammar
    AI can assist the linguist in doing research on the structure of language. This Element illustrates this possibility by showing how a conversational AI based on a Large Language Model (AI LLM chatbot) can assist the Construction Grammarian, and especially the Frame Semanticist. An AI LLM chatbot is a text-generation system trained on vast amounts of text. To generate text, it must be able to find ... Read more
