Linguistic knowledge consists of a structured set of form-meaning pairs (constructions), which one can conceptualize as a network or constructicon. The essays in this volume engage in a theoretical and empirical exploration of different aspects of such a constructicon. The book is addressed to a sophisticated audience and to those readers interested in construction grammar and usage-based descriptive approaches.
