Inhalt
This course will investigate selected syntactic and lexical constructions in the English language from the point of view of Construction Grammar. Constructions will be defined as conventional (i.e. learned) pairings of form and meaning, which are part of a speaker’s mental grammar. Speakers of a given language need constructions to produce and understand utterances in that language. As is characteristic of the Construction Grammar approach to language, no sharp boundary will be assumed between the lexicon and syntax. The set of English constructions to be discussed in this class will include, among others, valency-changing constructions (as illustrated by digging one’s way out of prison), expressive binominal constructions (such as a gem of a town), idioms (e.g. let the cat out of the bag), Noun+Noun compounds (e.g. coffee coffee) and so-called phrasal nouns or complex nominals (e.g. Adjective+Noun combinations, such as electrical engineering). Data from online corpora, such as the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), will be employed to examine properties of selected constructions.
