  • Construction grammar and "non-native discourse" [Elektronski vir]
    Habjan, Ana Monika
    The creative and heterogeneous language use, a traditional object of sociolinguistics, is increasingly becoming the focus of scientific research in more formal linguistics as well. In this respect, ... Construction Grammar occupies a special place among other formal grammar theo-ries. This usage-based model proposes a dynamic concept of "construction," which is based on usage frequency and is supposed to replace the traditional notion of stable grammatical rule. From this perspective, grammar is not innate, which means that the emergence of new constructions and their grammaticalization are common phenomena and that the "native speaker" should no longer be the only reference of language analysis. My paper addresses linguistic forms and meanings, focusing on the specifics of "non-native discourse." It discusses the possibilities of connections between empirical approaches to "non-native discourse" in English as a Lingua Franca and the theoretical accounts proposed by recent Construction Grammar models.
