Definicja i Znaczenie "construction grammar"

What is "construction grammar"?

Construction grammar is a theoretical framework that emphasizes the idea that language is made up of constructions, which are learned pairings of form and meaning. This approach suggests that grammatical structures are not merely governed by abstract rules, but are instead represented as specific constructions that can range from simple phrases to complex sentences. Each construction carries its own meaning and usage patterns. Construction grammar examines how these constructions interact and how they can express a wide variety of meanings in different contexts. This framework provides insights into the relationship between syntax, semantics, and the ways language is used in communication.
