2024 The computational learning of construction grammars: State of the art and prospective roadmap Constructions and Frames: Online-First Articles | Article
This paper documents and reviews the state of the art concerning computational models of construction grammar learning. It brings together prior work on the computational learning of form-meaning pairings, which has so far been studied in several distinct areas of research. The goal of this… read more
2019 An open-ended computational construction grammar for Spanish verb conjugation Case Studies in Fluid Construction Grammar: The verb phrase, Steels, Luc and Katrien Beuls (eds.), pp. 105–128 | Chapter
The Spanish verb phrase can take on many forms, depending on the temporal,
aspectual and modal interpretation that a speaker wants to convey. At least half
a dozen constructions work together to build or analyze even the simplest verb
form such as hablo ‘I speak’. This paper documents how… read more
2019 Approaches to the verb phrase in Fluid Construction Grammar Case Studies in Fluid Construction Grammar: The verb phrase, Steels, Luc and Katrien Beuls (eds.), pp. 1–4 | Chapter
2019 Russian verbs of motion and their aspectual partners in Fluid Construction Grammar Case Studies in Fluid Construction Grammar: The verb phrase, Steels, Luc and Katrien Beuls (eds.), pp. 129–148 | Chapter
Russian boasts a highly complex aspectual system which can appear irregular and
difficult to learn. It has recently been suggested that motion verbs, which are
normally seen as exceptional in their nature, may in fact be at the core of this
system, motivating aspectual behavior based on stem… read more

2016 Modelling pronominal gender agreement in Dutch: From a syntactic to a semantic strategy Computational Construction Grammar and Constructional Change, Beuls, Katrien and Remi van Trijp (eds.), pp. 219–250 | Article
In the context of cultural evolution, we propose a multi-agent model that allows, through pair-wise interactions between homogeneous individuals of a population, to simulate the shift from a syntactic towards a semantic pronominal agreement system. We explore various gender mapping and learning… read more
2012 Inflectional patterns as constructions: Spanish verb morphology in Fluid Construction Grammar Constructions and Frames 4:2, pp. 231–252 | Article
Although often a painful and prolonged process, conjugating verbs correctly is essential when you try to master a foreign language. Verbs that exhibit an irregular conjugation paradigm, however, are often the verbs that occur most frequently in a language. The nature of inflectional morphemes and… read more
2012 The emergence of internal agreement systems Experiments in Cultural Language Evolution, Steels, Luc (ed.), pp. 233–256 | Article
Grammatical agreement means that two linguistic units share certain syntactic or semantic features such as gender, number or person. Agreement has a variety of grammatical functions. One of them, called internal agreement, is to signal which words
are grouped together as part of the same phrase.… read more
2012 A language strategy for aspect: Encoding Aktionsarten through morphology Experiments in Cultural Language Evolution, Steels, Luc (ed.), pp. 257–276 | Article
This chapter explores a possible language strategy for verbalizing
aspect: the encoding of Aktionsarten by means of morphological markers.
Russian tense-aspect system is used as a model. We first operationalize
this system and reconstruct the learning operators needed for acquiring
it. Then we… read more
2011 Construction sets and unmarked forms: A case study for Hungarian verbal agreement Design Patterns in Fluid Construction Grammar, Steels, Luc (ed.), pp. 237–264 | Article
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’s languages. This paper… read more
