◇講演要旨
The Grammar Network. Syntactic categories in usage-based construction grammar
Cognitive and usage-based linguists have often argued that grammar is best understood as a network, but while the network view of grammar is widely accepted in cognitive linguistics, it is unclear how the various aspects of linguistic structure are organized in such a network. According to Goldberg (1995), grammar is primarily a taxonomic network in which constructions are connected by inheritance links. However, while inheritance links are key to understand certain aspects of a grammar, recent studies argue that the construct-i-con is not just a taxonomy of hierarchically related constructions (e.g., Lyngfeld et al. 2018; Diessel 2019; Schmid 2020; Sommerer and Smirnova 2020; Ungerer 2023).
In this paper, I present a dynamic network model of grammar in which all aspects of linguistic structure, including word classes, constituent structure, morphological paradigms, and syntactic relations, are analyzed in terms of associations between different aspects of a speaker’s linguistic knowledge. These associations are shaped by domain-general learning processes that are operative in language use and sensitive to frequency of occurrence.
The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, I argue that constructions can be analyzed as networks involving three different types of associations: (i) symbolic relations connecting form and meaning, (ii) sequential relations connecting linguistic elements in sequence, and (iii) taxonomic relations connecting linguistic patterns at different levels of abstraction. In the second part, I argue that grammatical word classes are best analyzed in terms of from filler-slots relations connecting individual lexical items with specific slots in constructional schemas, and I further show that grammatical categories such as case and voice are structured by paradigmatic associations between horizontally related constructions. The paper builds on data and analyses presented in Diessel (2023).References
