Construction Grammar Reading Group
What is it?
CxG is a relatively new and developing approach to the study
of language that focuses on the notion of ´constructions,µ or
pairings of form and meaning. So what qualifies as a
construction? Interestingly, this term is applied at all levels
of linguistic inquiry, encompassing everything from
morphemes to words, all the way up to abstract syntagmatic
frames. Comprehensive and amenable to many other
burgeoning disciplines (corpus work, language acquisition,
cognitive science), this method has an exceedingly powerful
explanatory potential.
When is it?
We will be meeting bi-weekly (with some adjustments)
beginning Friday, September 10th.
Where is it?
LANG 410 (4th
floor conference room)
