2023 Chapter 7. The entrenchment of semi-schematic time constructions by German foreign language learners of Swedish Constructional Approaches to Nordic Languages, Coussé, Evie, Steffen Höder, Benjamin Lyngfelt and Julia Prentice (eds.), pp. 179–211 | Chapter
This chapter investigates the entrenchment of semi-schematic time constructions by a group of foreign language learners of Swedish. Results from a phrasal decision experiment with 30 German speaking learners of Swedish show that the learners of Swedish process these constructions significantly… read more
2022 Chapter 9. Co-event relations in Swedish motion constructions Neglected Aspects of Motion-Event Description: Deixis, asymmetries, constructions, Sarda, Laure and Benjamin Fagard (eds.), pp. 189–207 | Chapter
This paper discusses co-events denoted by verbs used in Swedish motion events. The motion events are analyzed as constructions in the sense of construction grammar, in which the motion component can be argued to be evoked by a syntactic construction rather than by the verb per se. The manner… read more
2018 Grammaticalization meets Construction Grammar: Opportunities, challenges and potential incompatibilities Grammaticalization meets Construction Grammar, Coussé, Evie, Peter Andersson and Joel Olofsson (eds.), pp. 3–19 | Chapter
2014 From construction candidates to constructicon entries: An experiment using semi-automatic methods for identifying constructions in corpora Frames, constructions, and computation, Borin, Lars, Gerard de Melo, Karin Friberg Heppin and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 114–135 | Article
We present an experiment where natural language processing tools are used to automatically identify potential constructions in a corpus. The experiment was conducted as part of the ongoing efforts to develop a Swedish constructicon. Using an automatic method to suggest constructions has advantages… read more
