Automatic identification of construction candidates for a Swedish constructicon
- 2013

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present an experiment designed for extracting construction candidates for a Swedish constructicon from text corpora. We have explored the use of hybrid n-grams with the practical goal to discover previously undescribed partially schematic constructions. The experiment was successful, in that quite a few new constructions were discovered. The precision is low, but as a push-button tool for construction discovery, it has proven a valuable tool for the work on a Swedish constructicon.

Towards interlingual constructicography. On correspondence between constructicon resources for English and Swedish
- 2014

In: Constructions and Frames. - : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 1876-1933 .- 1876-1941. ; 6:1, s. 9-33

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article addresses the possibility of linking constructicon resources for different languages, in particular English and Swedish. The entries in Berkeley's English constructicon have been compared to Swedish, with focus on potential correspondences in a Swedish constructicon. In most cases, approximately corresponding Swedish constructions could be established, although typically with minor differences, often concerning grammatical markers. The closest equivalents are, typically, relatively general grammatical constructions, whereas constructions containing specific lexical elements tend to differ more. In order to link all corresponding constructions between the two resources, a combination of strategies seems to be required. Constructions with a referential meaning may be linked via FrameNet frames, while those with a more abstract grammatical function may be related in terms of their grammatical properties.

Adding a constructicon to the Swedish resource network of Språkbanken
- 2012
-
In: 11th Conference on Natural Language Processing (KONVENS) Proceedings. - 385027005X ; , s. 452-461
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents the integrated Swedish resource network of Språkbanken in general, and its latest addition – a constructicon – in particular. The constructicon, which is still in its early stages, is a collection of (partially) schematic multi-word units, constructions, developed as an addition to the Swedish FrameNet (SweFN). SweFN and the constructicon are integrated with other parts of Språkbanken, both lexical resources and corpora, through the lexical resource SALDO. In most respects, the constructicon is modeled on its English counterpart in Berkeley, and, thus, following the FrameNet format. The most striking differencies are the inclusion of so-called collostructional elements and the treatment of semantic roles, which are defined globally instead of locally as in FrameNet. Incorporating subprojects such as developing methods for automatic identification of constructions in authentic text on the one hand, and accounting for constructions problematic for L2 acquisition on the other, the approach is highly cross-disciplinary in nature, combining various theoretical linguistic perspectives on construction grammar with language technology, lexicography, and L2 research.

Lexikon och konstruktikon - ett konstruktionsgrammatiskt perspektiv på lexikografi
- 2013
-
In: LexicoNordica. - 0805-2735. ; 20, s. 75-91
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper addresses the question of where and how to cover linguistic patterns that do not quite belong either to the domain of lexicon or that of grammar. We present some examples of such constructions and introduce the notion of a Constructicon, as a complementary kind of resource to dictionaries and grammars, to account for them. We also examine the treatment of these example constructions in Swedish dictionaries, and discuss to what extent they can and should be treated there.

Nordiska studier i lexikografi 16. Rapport från 16:e konferensen om lexikografi i Norden, Lund 27-29 april 2022.
- 2023
-
Editorial proceedings (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Nordiska studier i lexikografi 16 rapporterar från den 16:e konferensen i lexikografi, som genomfördes i Lund 27–29 april 2022. Volymen innehåller 30 bidrag som bygger på inlägg från konferensen i form av plenarföreläsningar, sektionsföredrag och posterpresentationer. Artiklarna spänner innehållsligt över ett brett fält, men samtliga anlägger någon form av lexikografiskt perspektiv. Flera av dem anknyter till konferensens tema Lexikografiska utmaningar. Merparten av bidragen är författade på danska, norska eller svenska, men ett mindre antal är skrivna på engelska.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This paper introduces the Swedish Constructicon (SweCxn), a database of Swedish constructions currently under development. We also present a small study of the treatment of constructions in Swedish (paper) dictionaries, thus illustrating the need for a constructionist approach, and discuss three different methods used to identify potential constructions for inclusion in the constructicon. SweCxn is a freely available electronic resource, with a particular focus on semi-general linguistic patterns of the type that are difficult to account for from a purely lexicographic or a purely grammatical perspective, and which therefore have tended to be neglected in both dictionaries and grammars. Far from being a small set of borderline cases, such constructions are both numerous and common. They are also quite problematic for second language acquisition as well as LT applications. Accordingly, various kinds of multi-word units have received more attention in recent years, not least from a lexicographic perspective. The coverage, however, is only partial, and the productivity of many constructions is hard to capture from a lexical viewpoint. To identify constructions for SweCxn, we use a combination of methods, such as working from existing construction descriptions for Swedish and other languages, applying LT tools to discover recurring patterns in texts, and extrapolating constructional information from dictionaries.
