Construction grammar (CxG) is a framework for syntactic analysis
that takes constructions - pairings of form and meaning that range
from the highly idiomatic to the very general - to be the building
blocks of sentence meaning. Offering the first comprehensive
introduction to CxG to focus on both English words and the
constructions that combine them, this textbook shows students not
only what the analyses of particular structures are, but also how
and why those analyses are constructed, with each chapter taking
the student step-by-step through the reasoning processes that yield
the best description of a data set. It offers a wealth of
illustrative examples and exercises, largely based on real language
data, making it ideal for both self-study and classroom use.
Written in an accessible and engaging way, this textbook will open
up this increasingly popular linguistic framework to anyone
interested in the grammatical patterns of English.
