Constructicography: Constructicon development across languages
- 2018
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In constructionist theory, a constructicon is an inventory of constructions making up the full set of linguistic units in a language. In applied practice, it is a set of construction descriptions – a “dictionary of constructions”. The development of constructicons in the latter sense typically means combining principles of both construction grammar and lexicography, and is probably best characterized as a blend between the two traditions. We call this blend constructicography. The present volume is a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of constructicography. After a general introduction follow six chapters presenting constructicon projects for English, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish, respectively, often in relation to a framenet of the language. In addition, there is a chapter addressing the interplay between linguistics and language technology in constructicon development, and a final chapter exploring the prospects for interlingual constructicography. This is the first major publication devoted to constructicon development and it should be particularly relevant for those interested in construction grammar, frame semantics, lexicography, the relation between grammar and lexicon, or linguistically informed language technology.

- FrameNet (FN) resources have existed for many languages for over a decade but their adoption in real world applications has been limited. To celebrate the 65 anniversary of Lars Borin, the initiator and leader of Swedish FrameNet, among others, we take a standpoint to motivate why language resources are crucial for moving NLP forward. We present our position on (a) the need for language resources to embrace other dimensions of text and language use, and (b) the need for them to relate to other representations through multimodality.

MoCCA : A Model of Comparative Concepts for Aligning Constructicons
- 2024
-
Ingår i: ISA 2024. - : European Language Resources Association. - 9782493814326 ; , s. 93-98
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents MoCCA, a Model of Comparative Concepts for Aligning Constructicons under development by a consortium of research groups building Constructicons of different languages including Brazilian Portuguese, English, German and Swedish. The Constructicons will be aligned by using comparative concepts (CCs) providing language-neutral definitions of linguistic properties. The CCs are drawn from typological research on grammatical categories and constructions, and from FrameNet frames, organized in a conceptual network. Language-specific constructions are linked to the CCs in accordance with general principles. MoCCA is organized into files of two types: a largely static CC Database file and multiple Linking files containing relations between constructions in a Constructicon and the CCs. Tools are planned to facilitate visualization of the CC network and linking of constructions to the CCs. All files and guidelines will be versioned, and a mechanism is set up to report cases where a language-specific construction cannot be easily linked to existing CCs. © 2024 ELRA Language Resource Association: CC BY-NC 4.0.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- © 2018 John Benjamins Publishing Company. This chapter addresses interlingual relations between constructions. The perspective is contrastive rather than typological, with an aim towards multilingual constructicon development. Building on previous work on the alignment of frame-based multilingual lexical databases, we explore possibilities and problems for multilingual constructicography. By comparing the dataset of Berkeley's English constructicon to Brazilian Portuguese and Swedish, we discuss the alignment of constructicons vis á vis the existence of more or less equivalent constructions or the deployment of different linguistic strategies in different languages.

Comparative concepts as a resource for multilingual constructicography

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There are now so-called constructiCons in development for several different languages. Hence, there are also possibilities for multilingual application of these linguistic resources. Due to the complexity of comparing grammatical constructions in different languages, an approach of trying to establish direct construction equivalents in different languages is not practically feasible on a large scale. Instead, constructions may be connected in terms of shared properties, preferably defined in a language-neutral way. To this end, we propose a linking system based on comparative concepts (CCs) of the sort employed in language typology, enriched with semantic frames. Through this set of CCs, (partial) correspondences may be established between constructions in terms of (combinations of) semantic, functional and morphosyntactic similarities.

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The International FrameNet Workshop 2018 brought together researchers in Frame Semantics and Construction Grammar, two areas which have traditionally been interrelated, but which have been developing somewhat independently in recent years. It is also addressed at language technology researchers working with language resources based on Frame Semantics or Construction Grammar. The workshop follows on from similar joint meetings in Berkeley, California in 2013 (IFNW 2013, sponsored by the Swedish FrameNet group) and in Juiz de Fora, Brazil in 2016 (IFNW 2016, sponsored by FrameNet Brasil), and will cover the rapidly unfolding developments in both areas and recent research on their interconnections.
