href="/wiki/Cognitive_linguistics" title="Cognitive linguistics">cognitive linguistics</a> which posit that <b>constructions</b>, or learned pairings of linguistic patterns with meanings, are the fundamental building blocks of human language. Constructions include words (<i>aardvark</i>, <i>avocado</i>), <a href="/wiki/Morpheme" title="Morpheme">morphemes</a> (<i>anti-</i>, <i>-ing</i>), fixed expressions and <a href="/wiki/Idiom" title="Idiom">idioms</a> (<i>by and large</i>, <i>jog X's memory</i>), and abstract grammatical rules such as the <a href="/wiki/English_passive_voice" title="English passive voice">passive voice</a> (<i>The cat was hit by a car</i>) or the <a href="/wiki/Ditransitive_verb#In_English" title="Ditransitive verb">ditransitive</a> (<i>Mary gave Alex the ball</i>). Any linguistic pattern is considered to be a construction as long as some aspect of its form or its meaning cannot be predicted from its component parts, or from other constructions that are recognized to exist. In construction grammar, every utterance is understood to be a combination of multiple different constructions, which together specify its precise meaning and form.<sup id="cite_ref-goldberg2006_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-goldberg2006-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Advocates of construction grammar argue that language and culture are not designed by people, but are 'emergent' or automatically constructed in a process which is comparable to <a href="/wiki/Natural_selection" title="Natural selection">natural selection</a> in <a href="/wiki/Species" title="Species">species</a><sup id="cite_ref-Croft_2006_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Croft_2006-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Beckner_2009_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Beckner_2009-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Cornish_etal_2009_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cornish_etal_2009-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-MacWhinney_2015_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MacWhinney_2015-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or the formation of natural constructions such as <a href="/wiki/Nest" title="Nest">nests</a> made by <a href="/wiki/Eusociality" title="Eusociality">social insects</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Dahl_2004_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dahl_2004-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Constructions correspond to <a href="/wiki/Replicator_(evolution_unit)" class="mw-redirect" title="Replicator (evolution unit)">replicators</a> or <a href="/wiki/Meme" title="Meme">memes</a> in memetics and other cultural replicator theories.<sup id="cite_ref-Kirby_2013_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kirby_2013-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Zehentner_2019_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Zehentner_2019-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-MacWhinney_2015_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MacWhinney_2015-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Peschek_2010_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Peschek_2010-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is argued that construction grammar is not an original model of cultural evolution, but for essential part the same as <a href="/wiki/Memetics" title="Memetics">memetics</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Blackmore_2008_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Blackmore_2008-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Construction grammar is associated with concepts from cognitive linguistics that aim to show in various ways how human <a href="/wiki/Rationality" title="Rationality">rational</a> and <a href="/wiki/Creativity" title="Creativity">creative</a> behaviour is automatic and not planned.<sup id="cite_ref-Lakoff&Johnson_1999_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lakoff&Johnson_1999-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Dahl_2004_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dahl_2004-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Construction_grammar&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Construction grammar was first developed in the 1980s by linguists such as <a href="/wiki/Charles_J._Fillmore" title="Charles J.

Instead, he suggested, constructions themselves must have meanings. </p><p>Another early study was "There-Constructions," which appeared as Case Study 3 in George Lakoff's <i><a href="/wiki/Women,_Fire,_and_Dangerous_Things" title="Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things">Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It argued that the meaning of the whole was not a function of the meanings of the parts, that odd grammatical properties of <a href="/wiki/Deictic" class="mw-redirect" title="Deictic">Deictic</a> There-constructions followed from the pragmatic meaning of the construction, and that variations on the central construction could be seen as simple extensions using form-meaning pairs of the central construction. </p><p>Fillmore et al.'s (1988) paper on the English <i>let alone</i> construction was a second classic. These two papers propelled cognitive linguists into the study of CxG. Since the late 1990s there has been a shift towards a general preference for the usage-based model.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

For example, BCG abandons the traditional practice of using non-branching domination (NP over N' over N) to describe undetermined nominals that function as NPs, instead introducing a determination construction that requires ('asks for') a non-maximal nominal sister and a lexical 'maximality' feature for which plural and mass nouns are unmarked. BCG also offers a unification-based representation of 'argument structure' patterns as abstract verbal lexeme entries ('linking constructions'). These linking constructions include transitive, oblique goal and passive constructions. These constructions describe classes of verbs that combine with phrasal constructions like the VP construction but contain no phrasal information in themselves. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sign_Based_Construction_Grammar">Sign Based Construction Grammar</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Construction_grammar&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Sign Based Construction Grammar"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the mid-2000s, several of the developers of BCG, including Charles Fillmore, Paul Kay, Ivan Sag and Laura Michaelis, collaborated in an effort to improve the formal rigor of BCG and clarify its representational conventions.

SBCG<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is based on a multiple-inheritance hierarchy of typed feature structures. The most important type of feature structure in SBCG is the sign, with subtypes word, lexeme and phrase. The inclusion of phrase within the canon of signs marks a major departure from traditional syntactic thinking. In SBCG, phrasal signs are licensed by correspondence to the mother of some licit construct of the grammar. A construct is a local tree with signs at its nodes. Combinatorial constructions define classes of constructs. Lexical class constructions describe combinatoric and other properties common to a group of lexemes. Combinatorial constructions include both inflectional and derivational constructions. SBCG is both formal and generative; while cognitive-functional grammarians have often opposed their standards and practices to those of formal, generative grammarians, there is in fact no incompatibility between a formal, generative approach and a rich, broad-coverage, functionally based grammar. It simply happens that many formal, generative theories are descriptively inadequate grammars. SBCG is generative in a way that prevailing syntax-centered theories are not: its mechanisms are intended to represent all of the patterns of a given language, including idiomatic ones; there is no 'core' grammar in SBCG. SBCG a licensing-based theory, as opposed to one that freely generates syntactic combinations and uses general principles to bar illicit ones: a word, lexeme or phrase is well formed if and only if it is described by a lexeme or construction. Recent SBCG works have expanded on the lexicalist model of idiomatically combining expressions sketched out in Sag 2012.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Goldbergian/Lakovian_construction_grammar"><span id="Goldbergian.2FLakovian_construction_grammar"></span>Goldbergian/Lakovian construction grammar</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Construction_grammar&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Goldbergian/Lakovian construction grammar"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The type of construction grammar associated with linguists like Goldberg and Lakoff looks mainly at the external relations of <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_construction" title="Grammatical construction">constructions</a> and the structure of constructional networks.

Radical construction grammar is totally non-<a href="/wiki/Reductionism" title="Reductionism">reductionist</a>, and Croft argues that constructions are not derived from their parts, but that the parts are derived from the constructions they appear in. Thus, in radical construction grammar, constructions are linked to <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gestalt" class="extiw" title="wikt:gestalt">Gestalts</a>. Radical construction grammar rejects the idea that syntactic categories, roles, and relations are universal and argues that they are not only language-specific, but also construction specific. Thus, there are no universals that make reference to formal categories, since formal categories are language- and construction-specific. The only universals are to be found in the patterns concerning the mapping of meaning onto form. Radical construction grammar rejects the notion of syntactic relations altogether and replaces them with semantic relations. Like Goldbergian/Lakovian construction grammar and cognitive grammar, radical construction grammar is closely related to cognitive linguistics, and like cognitive grammar, radical construction grammar appears to be based on the idea that form is semantically motivated. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Embodied_construction_grammar">Embodied construction grammar</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Construction_grammar&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Embodied construction grammar"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Embodied construction grammar (ECG), which is being developed by the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/NTL/">Neural Theory of Language (NTL)</a> group at ICSI, UC Berkeley, and the University of Hawaiʻi, particularly including Benjamin Bergen and Nancy Chang, adopts the basic constructionist definition of a grammatical construction, but emphasizes the relation of constructional semantic content to <a href="/wiki/Embodied_cognition" title="Embodied cognition">embodiment</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sensorimotor_rhythm" title="Sensorimotor rhythm">sensorimotor</a> experiences.
