This volume builds on previous constructionist work, in particular Diasystematic Construction Grammar (DCxG) and the volume Constructions in Contact (2018) and extends its methodology and insights in three major ways. First, it presents new constructional research on a wide range of language contact scenarios including Afrikaans, American Sign Language, English, French, Malayalam, Norwegian, Spanish, Welsh, as well as contact scenarios that involve typologically different languages. Second, it also addresses other types of scenarios that do not fall into the classic language contact category, such as multilingual practices and language acquisition as emerging multilingualism. Third, it aims to integrate constructionist views on language contact and multilingualism with other approaches that focus on structural, social, and cognitive aspects. The volume demonstrates that Construction Grammar is a framework particularly well suited for analyzing a wide variety of language contact phenomena from a usage-based perspective. 30 6 3 2021 5 19 2021 9789027208620 9789027259974 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/cal.30 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027259974 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027259974.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.30/html Kevin J. Rottet Indiana University https://ror.org/01kg8sb98 Language contact and constructional change Abstract The English way- construction ( He elbowed his way through the crowd ), one of the clearest examples of an Argument Structure Construction (ASC), is a highly English-specific idiom that is reported not to have exact equivalents in other languages. Yet Welsh has a virtually identical ffordd -construction that must be attributed to language contact. Welsh speakers replicate the way -construction and its properties using native material, making this an instance of PAT. It appears in Welsh by the 17th century and follows a developmental trajectory similar to the English model. The ffordd -construction, then, instantiates the replication of a partially schematic construction in the sense of Construction Grammar (CxG). Discussion shows how models of language contact can incorporate the replication of an ASC. 6 3 2021 5 19 2021 233 265 10.1075/cal.30.08rot https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.30.08rot https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.30.08rot/html The Oxford Handbook of Construction Grammar Boas 233 2013 Cognitive Construction Grammar 10.1075/cal.15 10.1075/cal.24 Taith y pererin Bunyan 1688 Voyage au bout de la nuit Céline 1932 Journey to the End of the Night Céline 1934 Actes du congrès annuel de l’Association canadienne de linguistique 2011 / Proceedings of the 2011 annual conference of the Canadian Linguistic Association Christie 1 2011 Investigating the differences between the English way-construction and the fake reflexive resultative construction You Belong to Me Clark 1999 Tu m’appartiens Clark 2000 10.1075/cal.21 A Dictionary of Welsh and English Idiomatic Phrases Cownie 2001 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198299554.001.0001 10.1075/cf.6.2.02dog 10.1057/978-1-137-52897-1_1 Ffenestri tua’r Gwyll Elis 1955 Yn ôl i Leifior Elis 1956 Return to Lleifior Elis 1999 Ensemble c’est tout Gavalda 2004 Hunting and Gathering Gavalda 2007 Constructions: A Construction Grammar Approach to Argument Structure Goldberg 1995 10.1353/lan.2004.0129 The Pelican Brief Grisham 1992 L’affaire Pélican Grisham 1993 The Summons Grisham 2002 L’héritage Grisham 2003 10.1017/CBO9780511614132 10.1075/bct.82 10.1075/cal.24.02hod 10.1075/hsm.13.17hod 10.1075/slcs.154.07hod Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language Israel 217 1996 The way constructions grow Semantic Structures Jackendoff 1990 10.1515/9783110892598.285 Hanes y Bedyddwyr yn Neheubarth Cymru Jones 1839 Language Revitalization: Policy and Planning in Wales Jones 48 2000 The statistical basis for Welsh language planning: Data trends, patterns, processes Hanes Prydain Fawr, yn wladol a chrefyddol Jones 1857 Language Obsolescence and Revitalization : Linguistic Change in Two Sociolinguistically Contrasting Welsh Communities Jones 1998 10.1093/oso/9780198237112.001.0001 The Shining King 1977 Shining: Enfant Lumière King 1979 The Historian Kostova 2005 L’historienne et Drakula Kostova 2005 Brith yw brethyn bywyd Lewis 1980 Rough Cider Lovesey 1986 Seidr chwerw Lovesey 1991 10.1017/CBO9780511809873 10.1075/sl.31.4.05mat 10.1017/S0954394510000165 Gwen Tomos: Merch y Wernddu Owen 1991 [1894] Raslas Bach a mawr: Hunangofiant Owen 2004 Ffydd Gobaith Cariad Owen 2006 Faith, Hope & Love Owen 2010 Taffia Owen 2016 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199641635.003.0013 10.1524/stuf.2010.0010 Ei Ffanffer ei hun Pugh 1959 Crawia Prysor 2008 Y Pla Roberts 1987 Pestilence Roberts 1991 Mis o fehefin Roberts 1980 Saith Oes Efa Roberts 2014 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Rowling 1997 Harri Potter a Maen yr Athronydd Rowling 1997 Harry Potter à l’école des sorcières Rowling 1998 Hunangofiant y Brawd Houdini Stevens 2003 Solva Blues Stevens 2004 10.1525/9780520912793 10.1017/S002222670200141X A cross-Germanic comparison of the way-construction.
