The Cambridge Handbook of Construction Grammar
Construction Grammar is one of the fastest-growing branches of functional syntax. Bringing together an international team of scholars, this handbook provides a complete overview of the current issues and applications in this approach. Divided into six thematic parts, it covers the fundamental notions of Construction Grammar, its conceptual origins and the basic ideas that unite its various branches, its solid empirical grounding and affinities wi…
A functional typology of Dutch insubordinate infinitives
This paper aims to offer a typology of Dutch insubordinate infinitives, which, following Evans’s (2007) definition of insubordination, are defined as ‘the main clause use’ of infinitival constructions. The main objectives of this paper are to provide a pragmatic analysis of these constructions in Dutch and, through cross-linguistic comparison, investigate whether their attested pragmatic functions correspond to the pragmatic functions of (a) insu…
Insubordination and lectal variation
This study aims to document the variation of a minor imperative construction in five varieties of Spanish and four discursive genres, and to represent this variation by proposing a constructional network that recognizes different degrees of abstraction in the form of schemas and subschemas. Our data comes from five varieties of Spanish (Argentinian, Caribbean, Chilean, Mexican and Peninsular) and four different genres: two spoken (conversations a…
Geographical and discursive variation of discourse-connective que in Spanish
This study presents a corpus-based analysis of discourse-connective que (DCQ) in five varieties of Spanish and across four different discursive genres. On the one hand, we show that DCQ is not only a spoken phenomenon but at the same time mainly restricted to colloquial language use. On the other hand, the results show that DCQ is more entrenched in the Peninsular variety than in the Latin-American varieties (Mexico shows the lowest overall frequ…
Polifuncionalidad y prosodia
a Este trabajo analiza los rasgos prosódicos de construcciones independientes introducidas por a ver si a partir de muestras orales procedentes de dos corpus de español coloquial peninsular: el corpus Val.Es.Co. ( Briz Gómez 2002 ; Cabedo y Pons 2013 ) y el corpus COLA de Madrid ( Jorgensen 2007 ). Tras señalar las limitaciones del tratamiento de a ver si como partícula discursiva, se propone un análisis basado en la Gramática de Construcciones, …
La gramática de construcciones. Una mirada interna, periférica y aplicada
Este artículo constituye una respuesta a la crítica de la gramática de construcciones realizada por Ignacio Bosque en su trabajo La gramática de construcciones: una mirada externa. La crítica de Bosque se complementa con una mirada interna, periférica y aplicada. Para contextualizar mi respuesta, comienzo presentando una panorámica de los enfoques constructivistas, para poner de relieve la existencia de diferencias en cuanto a los intereses como …
Semantic polyfunctionality and constructional networks
This paper offers an analysis of insubordinate subjunctive complement clauses (ISCs) in Spanish and aims to contribute to the general debate in Construction Grammar on how to deal with a highly pragmatically specified surface form that expresses several meanings. We explore whether the meanings expressed by ISCs are encoded in the construction or can be derived via independently existing principles of pragmatic interpretation. The results of the …

Exclamatives in the functional typology of insubordination
An interactional account of discourse-connective que-constructions in Spanish
This paper offers an interactional analysis of discourse-connective
On the interactional dimension of evidentials
Spanish has a series of evidential discourse markers that combine the lexical semantics of visual perception with reference to inference or hearsay, for example, evidentemente ‘evidently’, por lo visto ‘visibly, seemingly’, al parecer ‘seemingly’ and se ve (que) ‘one sees that, apparently’. The main aim of this article is to examine the grammatical, semantic and interactional properties of these four evidential discourse markers in informal and f…
