  • Can Bert predict fillers for construction elements

    Open AccessTim Feldmüller, Fabian Barteld et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Corpus…2026

    The starting point of this paper is a central problem in constructicography: on the one hand, constructicon projects aim at describing a broad spectrum of constructions based on usage data; on the other hand, the established method for determining salient fillers of construction elements (slots) requires comprehensive annotations of entire corpora. In this paper, we propose a new method to tackle this problem. Using the pre-trained language model…

  • A frame-semantic approach to conceptual metaphors in the domain of emotion

    Open AccessPhillip A Neumair, Fiona M Gehrecke et al.ARTICLELanguage and Cognition2025Cited by: 1References: 22

    The article explores the metaphorical conceptualization of emotions. Conceptual metaphors are understood here as frames (i.e., structures of knowledge in long-term memory) in their own right. For modeling both the source and target domains of metaphors, the CoMetNet ( Conceptual Metaphor Network ) project uses frames documented in the German FrameNet-Constructicon project in spite of ad hoc created domains in previous literature. By doing so, it …

  • A multilingual approach to the interaction between frames and constructions

    Open AccessOliver Czulo, Alexander Willich et al.ARTICLEConstructions and Frames2023

    The comparison of constructions across languages faces a major challenge: Both similarities and differences can appear on the whole scale from form to meaning. In this paper, we propose an approach combining the descriptive and explanatory power of Construction Grammar and Frame Semantics by applying the analysis of constructions and frames on a full-text scale. More concretely, we propose a contrastive and translatological analysis of (partially…

  • The German Constructicon Project

    Alexander Ziem, Johanna Flick et al.ARTICLELexicographica - International…2019

    The paper introduces aims and efforts of the German Constructicon Project (GCP) ( www.german-constructicon.de ) hosted at the University of Düsseldorf. The ultimate goal of the project is not only to identify and describe oftentimes overlooked grammatical constructions, but also to offer comprehensive descriptions of them in a dictionary-like online repository. Each construction entry is intended to provide all relevant grammatical information ne…

  • Construction Grammar meets Phraseology

    Open AccessAlexander ZiemARTICLELinguistik Online2018

    In the 1980s, the very idea of a constructionist approach to grammar was considerably motivated by the observation that irregular syntactic structures and semantic idiomaticity constitute a major part of a language. Even though, since then, a multitude of case studies followed the methodological spirit to approach fully regular "core" structures from insights into irregular structures (and not the other way around), it seems as if the genuine int…

  • Do we really need a Multimodal Construction Grammar

    Open AccessAlexander ZiemARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2017

    A multimodal construction is said to be a conventional pairing of a complex form, comprising at least a verbal and a kinetic element, with a specific meaning or a specific function. Do we need a new constructional approach to account for such multimodal constructions? What are the challenges to account for multimodality? The aim of this contribution is to provide a precise notion ‘multimodal construction’ and, on this basis, to indicate possible …

    Alexander Lasch, Alexander ZiemBOOKGrammatik Als Netzwerk Von…2014

    Linguistic knowledge consists of a structured set of form-meaning pairs (constructions), which one can conceptualize as a network or “constructicon.” The essays in this volume engage in a theoretical and empirical exploration of different aspects of such a “constructicon.”The book is addressed to a sophisticated audience and to those readers interested in construction grammar and usage-based descriptive approaches.
