In a constructionist approach to grammar, morphological constructions and clausal constructions may have the same theoretical status as argument structure constructions (e.g., Goldberg, 1995, pp. 22–23; Croft, 2001; Booij, 2010). In this chapter, the author argues that the Danish verb prefixes… read more
In typological studies of expressions of motion events, there is a need for a quantitative methodology that assesses and qualifies inter- and intra-linguistic variation. The article reports on a large corpus study of the use of Spanish motion verbs in constructions of telic motion. Verb… read more

Pedersen, Johan 2009 The construction of macro-events: A typological perspectiveDeconstructing Constructions, Butler, Christopher S. and Javier Martín Arista (eds.), pp. 25–62 | Article
In this article Talmy’s influential typology of macro-events (Talmy 1985, 1987, 1991, 2000) is discussed from the point of view of construction grammar (Goldberg 1995, 2006). Talmy has described typological differences of lexicalization between what he calls satellite-framed languages and… read more
