Just finished reviewing @grambelli.bsky.social's book (available soon): a clear and engaging synthesis of the major strands of work on compositionality, analogy, and usage, while pushing #ConstructionGrammar toward a more explicit engagement with processing and computation. Highly recommended!

Working on some proofs on the train back home. It's a little article in which I share my thoughts about how we can "refactor" the architecture of #ConstructionGrammar to better fit the recent advances in usage-based approaches. I can't wait to see it published and hear your views

I think valence information has to be encoded lexically and lexical rules or empty heads or transformations should be used to derive […]

Our paper combines #HistoricalSociolinguistics with #ConstructionGrammar, analysing the role of gender in the productivity of the cx. While men use a greater number of different verbs in the cx, women lead the host-class expansion, so they might have different representations of the cx over time.

I’ve started reading William Croft’s “Morphosyntax” (2022). Only on ch. 2 now, but finally a #syntax book I’m enjoying! And actually based on varied cross-linguistic data, not completely English-centric.
