#cxg — Public Fediverse posts

Hm. So #ConstructionGrammar is about #LLMs now? I think this is the wrong way to go.

Neue Version meines Aufsatzes zu phrasalen Konstruktionen in TAG.

At this years #LFG conference, I will talk about #TAG and what it shows us for the old phrasal vs. lexical discussion:

https://lingbuzz.net/lingbuzz/009130

I think valence information has to be encoded lexically and lexical rules or empty heads or transformations should be used to derive resultative constructions or caused motion constructions. They can not be related to other constructions in inheritance networks.

Comments welcome!

I’ve started reading William Croft’s “Morphosyntax” (2022). Only on ch. 2 now, but finally a #syntax book I’m enjoying! And actually based on varied cross-linguistic data, not completely English-centric.

1/2 This is speculative but there may be some merit & foundation in Construction Grammar #CxG for using substitution tables (in some more meaningful way) for language learning.

See: Nation, I. S. P. (2024). Chapter 19 Substitution tables. In The Twenty Most Effective Language Teaching Techniques (pp. 238–245). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003496151

Two contructions #CxG that speak volumes in the given context. How can so much meaning & attitude be condensed into just two words?!

(OK, I'm officially a linguistics nerd 🤓)

1/ Did you know that #ConstructionMorphology was developed by Susanne Z. Riehemann? It was her masters thesis in 1993, which was later published in a journal article in 1998. Very good work about -bar derivation in German (like able derivation in English). It is type-based, captures lexical idiosyncrasies and regularities and sub-regularities. Susanne's work was corpus-driven. Empirically and formally very good. Gert Booij never cites her appropriately.

1/ Bert Capelle asks whether Construction Grammar can be proven wrong.

The question is what he means by Construction Grammar. The framework? The set of ideas? Or certain theories within this framework.

I think HPSG is a constructionist theory and I think it works and addresses all the issues raised within the constructionist tradition. There are phrasal approaches within #CxG and if the question is whether they can be proven wrong

So no head? #CXG

Was ich mich in letzter Zeit so gefragt habe: Sind #LLM eingentlich sowas wie Implementierungen von usage-basierten Grammatikmodellen wie #CxG? Und wenn ja, was sagen die Schwächen von #ChatGPT i Bezug auf semantisches Verständnis über die entsprechenden Grammatik-Modelle aus? /cc @astefanowitsch

Some thoughts that popped up when I started watching #CrazyExGirlfriend (#CXG). Like...this #series is so real, it hurts and is hilarious at the same time.

A lot of people have problems feeling securely attached to others, as they loathe themselves, so the desperate search for a romantic partner is often simply a quest to find self-love by proxy.

Potential partners are obsessed over and put on a pedestal that is too easily knocked over, because it's not real.

So fünfte Auflage er #Grammatiktheorie ist erschienen. Da sind viele, viele Änderungen drin. Es gab ein anonyme Leser:in, der mir zu allen Theoriekapiteln Kommentare geschickt hat. Danke!

Dann habe ich jetzt vor jeden Diskussionsabschnitt geschrieben, dass man den Abschnitt erst nach dem Lesen der anderen Theoriekapitel lesen soll. Das steht zwar auf der ersten Seite des Buches, aber die letzten beiden Rezensenten hatten das übersehen oder vergessen, als sie bei den Diskussionsabschnitten angekommen waren.

Im Zuge diverser Buchprojekte habe ich auch die Literaturliste noch mal durchgesehen, DOIs hinzugefügt, fehlende Information ergänzt und auch Fehler gefunden und repariert.

Habt Spaß!
