All papers contribute to the discussion of how to conceptualize constructional networks best and how to model changes in the constructicon, as for example node creation or loss, node-external reconfiguration of the network or in/decrease in productivity and schematicity. The authors discuss the theoretical status of allostructions, homostructions, constructional families and constructional paradigms. The terminological distinction between constructionalization and constructional change is revisited. It is shown how constructional competition but also general cognitive abilities like analogical thinking and schematization relate to the structure and reorganization of the constructional network. Most contributions focus on the nature of vertical and horizontal links. Finally, contributions to the volume also discuss how existing network models should be enriched or reconceptualized in order to integrate theoretical, psychological and neurological aspects missing so far. 27 5 13 2020 4 16 2020 9789027205445 9789027261298 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/cal.27 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027261298 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027261298.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.27/html Gabriele Diewald Leibniz Universität Hannover https://ror.org/0304hq317 Paradigms as hyper-constructions Abstract Based on Diewald ( 2009 , 2015a , 2017 ), it is claimed that the notion of paradigm needs to be introduced into constructional accounts, as otherwise the essence of grammaticalization cannot be properly captured in construction grammar. It is suggested to define grammatical paradigms as a new node type, a “hyper-construction”, which represents the categorical, non-gradient specifics of grammatical meaning. This line of argumentation is supported by a discussion of changes in the German and English modality, tense, determiner, and number paradigms. Independent arguments for the psychological reality of paradigms come from the study of implicational relations in inflectional morphology and diachronic phenomena such as layering, suppletion, and paradigm pressure. 5 13 2020 4 16 2020 277 315 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001659 “Varianz und Grammatikalisierung von Verbalszenenkonstruktionen” (http://​www​.gabrielediewald​.de​/forschung​/verbalszenenkonstruktionen​.html). 10.1075/cal.27.08die https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.27.08die https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.27.08die/html 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199547548.003.0003 10.1017/CBO9780511486210 The Oxford Handbook of Inflection Blevins 87 2015 Inflectional paradigms 10.1515/psicl-2014-0009 10.1515/9783110353693.37 10.1017/9781139814720.016 10.1075/cal.27.09bud 10.1017/CBO9780511750526 The Evolution of Grammar: Tense, Aspect and Modality in the Languages of the World Bybee 1994 Constructions Cappelle 1 1 2006 Particle placement and the case for “allostructions 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198299554.001.0001 The Handbook of Construction Grammar Croft 211 2013 Radical Construction Grammar 10.1515/9783111376400 10.1515/9783110945942 Constructions Diewald 1 2006 Context types in grammaticalization as constructions ZGL Diewald 37 445 2009 Konstruktionen und Paradigmen 10.1075/slcs.119.04die 10.1515/bgsl-2015-0005 10.1075/cf.7.2.03die Linguistische Komplexität – ein Phantom?
