Review of Kerstin Fischer & Anatol Stefanowitsch (eds.): Konstruktionsgrammatik. Von der Anwendung zur Theorie.

Abstract

This collaborative volume, written in German, seeks to explore the applicability of Construction Grammar to various fields of linguistic inquiry. It brings together ten original contributions prepared by two researchers of international renown (Michael Tomasello, Thomas Stolz) and eight more junior scholars who cooperate in a “Construction Grammar network” sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (‘German Research Foundation’, DFG). A secondary aim of the book is to familiarize German-speaking academics with the current state of the art in construction grammar.
