Study of Construction Grammar theory
Hui Jiang · Journal of Liaoning Technical University · 2011
Construction Grammar,a relatively new grammatical system,comes into being based on the development of cognitive linguistics and the reflection on traditional Transformational-Generative Grammar.It provides a new approach to language study.According to Construction Grammar,language is the combination of form and meaning and language study should integrate form and meaning closely.The value of Construction Grammar lies in its great power in explaining some linguistic phenomena which were previously beyond explanation.However,its limitations and problems also deserve consideration.
