Abstract

This paper provides a concise overview of Constructions at Work (Goldberg 2006). The book aims to investigate the relevant levels of generalization in adult language, how and why generalizations are learned by children, and how to account for cross-linguistic generalizations.

Keywords:: constructionist approach; usage-based, argument structure constructions; learning, categorization; statistical preemption; category induction; information structure; islands; scope; linking rules; argument omission; argument realization
