Schema Theory as a Construction Grammar

Template Construction Grammar: a Schema-Theoretic Computational Construction Grammar

Template Construction Grammar (TCG) was developed as part of an effort to build a system-level neuro-computational model simulating the dynamics at play during languagevision interactions. This paper presents TCG as a computational framework designed to model the human brain’s capacity to dynamically coordinate two concurrent incremental processes, one generating a message and the other organiz...

A Neural Theory of Language and Embodied Construction Grammar

This chapter outlines an explicitly neural theory of language and a construction grammar formalism based on this theory. The formalism, ECG, combines deep insights from cognitive linguistics with advanced techniques of neural computation. We illustrate the theory and the formalism with detailed, automatically generated semantic analyses of several related examples. Recent developments in neuros...

Construction Grammar

In Construction Grammar, grammatical patterns are conventional pairings of form and meaning that are analogous to words. This article contrasts Construction Grammar with competing syntactic theories that are based on universal constraints and the projection properties of words. It reviews arguments for construction-based syntax derived from the following linguistic phenomena: semantic and synta...
