Construction Grammar构式语法 刘玉梅 Construction Grammar (CxG): a theory of syntax in which constructions are the basic unit of grammatical representation. CxG does not come out of nowhere. Typically associated with Cognitive Linguistics, partly because many of the linguists that are involved in CxG are also involved in Cognitive Linguistics; partly because CxG and Cognitive Linguistics share many theoretical and philosophical foundations. The theoretical framework of CxG: an established framework in the international linguistic community a viable alternative to other formal and less formal approaches to language and linguistic structure. CxG covers a family of theories of grammar : Cognitive Grammar (CG, Langacker), Radical Construction Grammar (RCxG, Croft), Embodied Construction Grammar (ECxG, Bergen Chang), Sign-based Construction Grammar (SCxG, Boas Sag, developed from Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar HPSG), Fluid Construction Grammar (FCxG, Steels), Diachronic Construction Grammar ( DCxG, Traugott Baredal ) A number of converging central points have been anticipated in the above theories: 1. Constructions: symbolic units, a pairing of form and meaning. 2. Construction：the basic unit of grammatical representation. There is a continuum from schematic complex constructions to substantive atomic constructions. 3. Constructions: organized in a network, chiefly by taxonomic relations and part-whole relations. 4. (not universally accepted) The mental representation of a construction: determined not only by the (non)predictability of the constructional properties, but also by token and type frequency. Construction grammarians are not likely to be content with analysis limited to grammar. Recent years have seen the extension of constructional theories to more areas of researches, encompassing acquisition, teaching, discourse, conversational system and so on. This family of approaches in which many linguists
