How Grammar Links Concepts

What is it about?

Instead of assuming a single network of syntactic constructions, three grammatical linking mechanisms are distinguished: verb-mediated constructions, attribution and scope-based perspectivizing, These mechanisms function independently, but are also linked in interfaces, thus permitting new explanations of challenging areas of English grammar such as negation, modality, adverbials and nonfinite constructions. In addition, fresh light is cast on a number of aspects of early child language.

Why is it important?

The book attempts to show that the neglected combination of constructionist thought, time-hallowed functional categories like attribution and online processing phenomena like perspectivizing may provide new linguistic insights.
