Inflectional patterns as constructions: Spanish verb morphology in Fluid Construction Grammar Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Although often a painful and prolonged process, conjugating verbs correctly is essential when you try to master a foreign language. Verbs that exhibit an irregular conjugation paradigm, however, are often the verbs that occur most frequently in a language. The nature of inflectional morphemes and the mechanism for conjugating verbs have been the topic of debate for 25 years now. This has lead to many different accounts of the problem, both in ...

First, using data from the YorkToronto-Helsinki Corpus of Old ...

Constructions at Work! Visualising Linguistic Pathways for Computational Construction Grammar Vrije Universiteit Brussel

These models allow to map an utterance to its meaning representation (comprehension), as well as to map a meaning representation to an utterance (formulation). The processing machinery is based on the unification of usage-patterns that combine morpho-syntactic and ...
