This chapter introduces some of the key ideas and basic design principles behind the development of Fluid Construction Grammar. 10 01 JB code cal.11.04ste 31 68 38 Article 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A first encounter with Fluid Construction Grammar</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">first encounter with Fluid Construction Grammar</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Luc Steels Steels, Luc Luc Steels Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Sony Computer Science Laboratory Paris 01 This chapter introduces the main mechanisms available in FCG for representing constructions and transient structures. It sketches the process whereby constructions are applied to expand transient structures and illustrates how templates are used to define constructions in a more abstract and modular way. Lexical constructions are used as the main source of examples. 10 01 JB code cal.11.05pa2 Section header 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part II.

It discusses a design pattern for phrasal constructions and introduces the templates that can be used to instantiate this pattern in Fluid Construction Grammar, using as illustration nominal phrases such as &#8220;the green mouse&#8217;&#8217; or &#8220;this mouse of mine&#8217;&#8217;. Phrasal constructions not only build phrases but also combine the meanings contributed by their constituents and possibly add meaning of their own. Phrasal constructions are interesting because they involve hierarchy, compositionality, recursion, agreement and percolation. The paper also illustrates how FCG uses templates to organise the grammar design process and to simplify the definition of the constructions relevant for a particular language. 10 01 JB code cal.11.07tri 115 146 32 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A design pattern for argument structure constructions</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">design pattern for argument structure constructions</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Remi van Trijp Trijp, Remi van Remi van Trijp Sony Computer Science Laboratory Paris 01 This paper presents a design pattern for handling argument structure and offers a concrete operationalization of this pattern in Fluid Construction Grammar. Argument structure concerns the mapping between &#8216;participant structure&#8217; (who did what to whom) and instances of &#8216;argument realization&#8217; (the linguistic expression of participant structures). This mapping is multilayered and indirect, which poses great challenges for grammar design. In the proposed design pattern, lexico-phrasal constructions introduce their semantic and syntactic potential of linkage. Argument structure constructions, then, select from this potential the values that they require and implement the actual linking. 10 01 JB code cal.11.08pa3 Section header 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part III.

FCG supports standard heuristic search techniques to set up and manage search spaces and employs user-defined goal tests to verify whether acceptable end states have been reached. This chapter uses simple French phrasal constructions to illustrate both mechanisms. It first provides a worked out example without search and then looks at specific cases where search arises and how it is handled. 10 01 JB code cal.11.10wel 181 202 22 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Organizing constructions in networks</TitleText> 1 A01 Pieter Wellens Wellens, Pieter Pieter Wellens Vrije Universiteit Brussel 01 Fluid Construction Grammar supports different ways to organize the inventory of constructions into networks. This is not just usable for descriptive purposes only. It plays an important role in streamlining the processes deciding which construction to consider first. Networks become increasingly more important as the complexity, multifunctionality, and size of a grammar grows. This chapter shows how networks of constructions are represented in FCG and how they are used to optimize language processing. Two examples are explored in more detail. The first example concerns family relations of specificity between constructions and the second one concerns conditional dependencies. 10 01 JB code cal.11.11pa4 Section header 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part IV.

Both phenomena involve forms that can be mapped onto multiple, often conflicting values. This paper illustrates their respective challenges through German case agreement, which has become the litmus test for demonstrating how well a grammar formalism deals with multifunctionality. After reviewing two traditional solutions, the paper demonstrates how complex grammatical categories can be represented as feature matrices instead of single-valued features. Feature matrices allow a free flow of constraints on possible feature-values coming from any part of an utterance, and they postpone commitment to any particular value until sufficient constraints have been identified. All examples in this paper are operationalized in Fluid Construction Grammar, but the design principle can be extended to other unification-grammars as well. 10 01 JB code cal.11.13beu 237 264 28 Article 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Construction sets and unmarked forms</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A case study for Hungarian verbal agreement</Subtitle> 1 A01 Katrien Beuls Beuls, Katrien Katrien Beuls Vrije Universiteit Brussel 01 Construction application can be made more efficient by organizing constructions into sets and by imposing an ordering on when a construction set should be considered. This technique gives us moreover a way to handle unmarked cases, which are abundant in all the world&#8217;s languages. This paper presents a non-trivial case study to introduce and illustrate the utility of construction sets, namely Hungarian verbal agreement, which is part of the Hungarian system for expressing argument structure. Hungarian verbal agreement is interesting because it has a dual conjugation system with mono-personal and poly-personal agreement, i.e. agreement with subject only or with subject and object. The choice which system is chosen depends on complex syntactic and semantic considerations. Moreover the morphemes chosen to express agreement and case marking depend on many factors, including the phonological properties of the stem. This chapter therefore illustrates not only how construction sets are useful but also how construction grammar can take multiple linguistic levels into account. 10 01 JB code cal.11.14spr 265 298 34 Article 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Syntactic indeterminacy and semantic ambiguity</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A case study for German spatial phrases</Subtitle> 1 A01 Michael Spranger Spranger, Michael Michael Spranger Sony Computer Science Laboratory Paris 2 A01 Martin Loetzsch Loetzsch, Martin Martin Loetzsch Sony Computer Science Laboratory Paris 01 This chapter presents an operational grammar for German spatial language, in particular German locative phrases, as a case study for processing distributed information. It investigates the complex interplay of syntactic phenomena and spatial semantics, with a specific emphasis on efficient processing of syntactic indeterminacy and semantic ambiguity. Since FCG applies constructions in a sequence one after the other, the main challenge lies in mutual dependencies between constructions, that is, some constructions require pieces of information in order to make decisions that are only later on provided by other constructions. We present solutions and design patterns for dealing with these processing issues, which all have in common the strategy of postponing decisions as long as possible in processing until all the necessary information for making the decision is available. 10 01 JB code cal.11.15pa5 Section header 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part V.

New conventions may arise and there is never absolute consensus in a population. How can human language users nevertheless have such a high rate of communicative success? And how do they deal with the incomplete sentences, false starts, errors and noise that is common in normal discourse? Fluidity, ungrammaticality and error are key problems for formal descriptions of language and for computational implementations of language processing because these seem to be necessarily rigid and mechanical. This chapter discusses how these issues are approached within the framework of Fluid Construction Grammar. Fluidity is not achieved by a single mechanism but through a combination of intelligent grammar design and flexible processing principles. 10 01 JB code cal.11.17ind 331 332 2 Miscellaneous 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20111207 2011 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027204332 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 502009594 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code CAL 11 Hb 15 9789027204332 13 2011040922 BB 01 CAL 02 1573-594X Constructional Approaches to Language 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Design Patterns in Fluid Construction Grammar</TitleText> 01 cal.11 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.11 1 B01 Luc Steels Steels, Luc Luc Steels ICREA, Institute for Evolutionary Biology (UPF-CSIC), Barcelona & Sony Computer Science Laboratory Paris 01 eng 344 xi 332 LAN009000 v.2006 CFX 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.COMPUT Computational & corpus linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 06 01 Construction Grammar is enthusiastically embraced by a growing group of linguists who find it a natural way to formulate their analyses.
