Providing a unified solution within the frameworks of construction
grammar and frame semantics, Hans Boas develops an account of
resultative constructions in English by grouping them in two
classes: conventionalized and non-conventionalized. The usage-based
model employed here proposes that each particular sense of a verb
constitutes a conventionalized mini-construction, which is crucial
information for the licensing of arguments. In contrast, verbs in
non-conventionalized resultative constructions can acquire a novel
meaning and thereby a new syntactic frame. English and German
resultatives are compared to illustrate the distinct lexical
polysemy networks of English and German verbs.
