The last decade has seen a rise in popularity in construction-based
approaches to grammar. The various approaches within the rubric
'construction grammar' all see language as a network of
constructions-pairings of form and meaning. Construction Grammar,
as a kind of cognitive linguistics, differs significantly from
mainstream generative grammar as espoused by Chomsky and his
followers. Advocates of Construction Grammar see it as a
psychologically plausible theory of human language. As such, it is
capable of providing a principled account of language acquisition,
language variation and language change. Research in Construction
Grammar also includes multidisciplinary cognitive studies in
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and computational linguistics.
The Oxford Handbook of Construction Grammar is the first
authoritative reference work solely dedicated to Construction
Grammar. Divided into five sections, the book will be an invaluable
resource that students and scholars alike can turn to for a
comprehensive account of current work on Construction Grammar, its
theoretical foundations, and its applications to and relationship
with other kinds of linguistic enquiry.
