Representing Constructional Schemata in the FunGramKB Grammaticon
Ricardo Mairal, Carlos Periñán-Pascual · 2021
Recent research into FunGramKB has focused on the development of a proof-ofconcept prototype, ARTEMIS, which intends to automatically provide a semantic representation of a text under the format of a conceptual logical structure by viewing the RRG linking algorithm from a conceptual perspective.However, little has been said about the format of the Grammaticon, the place where constructional schemata are claimed to reside within FunGramKB.With this in mind, the aim of this chapter is to discuss the format of constructional schemata in ARTEMIS.ARTEMIS's explanatory scope is not confined to argument constructions, as has been the case in RRG so far and most construction grammar approaches, but takes a step forward to account for those meaning dimensions that have a long tradition in pragmatics and discourse analysis, that is, the non-propositional dimension of meaning.In so doing, ARTEMIS resorts to the Lexical Constructional Model, a comprehensive model of meaning construction.The primary aim of this chapter is to discuss the format of these four level schemata and their representation in a natural language engineering project like ARTEMIS.
