  1. A network of allostructions: quantified subject constructions in Russian.Tore Nesset & Laura A. Janda - 2023 - Cognitive Linguistics 34 (1):67-97.
    This article contributes to Construction Grammar, historical linguistics, and Russian linguistics through an in-depth corpus study of predicate agreement in constructions with quantified subjects. Statistical analysis of approximately 39,000 corpus examples indicates that these constructions constitute a network of constructions (“allostructions”) with various preferences for singular or plural agreement. Factors pull in different directions, and we observe a relatively stable situation in the face of variation. We present an analysis of a multidimensional network of allostructions in Russian, thus contributing to (...)

  • Changes in the midst of a construction network: a diachronic construction grammar approach to complex prepositions denoting internal location.Guillaume Desagulier - 2022 - Cognitive Linguistics 33 (2):339-386.
    Linguists have debated whether complex prepositions deserve a constituent status, but none have proposed a dynamic model that can both predict what construal a given pattern imposes and account for the emergence of non-spatial readings. This paper reframes the debate on constituency as a justification of the constructional status of complex prepositional patterns from a historical perspective. It focuses on the Prep NP IL of NP lm construction, which denotes a relation of internal location between a located entity and a (...)
