  1. A sisterhood of constructions? A structural priming approach to modelling links in the network of Objoid Constructions.Tamara Bouso, Marianne Hundt & Laetitia Van Driessche - forthcoming - Cognitive Linguistics.
    A central aim of Construction Grammar is to model links within the construct-i-con. This paper investigates three constructions that share one property: an atypical element in the object slot. The constructions are therefore not prototypically transitive. Structural priming (implemented with an automatic maze variant of self-paced reading) is used to test hypotheses on the relation among the Reaction Objoid (She smiled her thanks), the Cognate Objoid (She smiled a sweet smile or He told a sly tale), and the Superlative Objoid (...)

  • A network of allostructions: quantified subject constructions in Russian.Tore Nesset & Laura A. Janda - 2023 - Cognitive Linguistics 34 (1):67-97.
    This article contributes to Construction Grammar, historical linguistics, and Russian linguistics through an in-depth corpus study of predicate agreement in constructions with quantified subjects. Statistical analysis of approximately 39,000 corpus examples indicates that these constructions constitute a network of constructions (“allostructions”) with various preferences for singular or plural agreement. Factors pull in different directions, and we observe a relatively stable situation in the face of variation. We present an analysis of a multidimensional network of allostructions in Russian, thus contributing to (...)

  • Exposure and emergence in usage-based grammar: computational experiments in 35 languages.Jonathan Dunn - 2022 - Cognitive Linguistics 33 (4):659-699.
    This paper uses computational experiments to explore the role of exposure in the emergence of construction grammars. While usage-based grammars are hypothesized to depend on a learner’s exposure to actual language use, the mechanisms of such exposure have only been studied in a few constructions in isolation. This paper experiments with (i) the growth rate of the constructicon, (ii) the convergence rate of grammars exposed to independent registers, and (iii) the rate at which constructions are forgotten when they have not (...)
