- Inhalt
- Construction Grammar has proven itself to be a very fruitful model for the description of language and language learning. However, it has not yet managed to establish itself as the model of linguistic description on which foreign language teaching is based, although first steps in this direction have been taken (De Knop & Gilquin 2016, Herbst 2016, and Boas forthc. 2020). This may partly be due to the fact that, in Germany, for instance, in university teaching Construction Grammar is (at best) presented as a model of linguistics, but is not being used for actual language teaching or syntactic analysis.
It is absolutely essential that language students – and prospective foreign language teachers – should be introduced to the basic insights of cognitive linguistics and Construction Grammar and be shown in what ways this model is superior to previous approaches, especially traditional grammar. In this seminar, we intend to outline the basic principles of a constructionist approach to syntactic analysis (CASA) which aims to do precisely that (Herbst & Hoffmann 2018).
We will discuss
the types of constructions we identify (declarative-‘statement’ cx, past tense cx, argument structure constructions, premodifier constructions, etc.), the format of presentation, in particular the formal, functional and semantic categories as well as collo-profiles that we are using, and outline how the various constructions that can be identified in an expression (the construct) can be represented in the form of a construction grid.
Particular emphasis will be put on the question of how constructions combine, where we shall argue that the concept of blending (Fauconnier & Turner 2006) can be applied to syntactic theory.
No previous knowledge of Construction Grammar is required!
The idea of the seminar is to try out a new model of syntactic analysis, which may at some stage be used in Staatsexamen. Help us develop something really useful!
