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 Daniel Jach Shanghai Normal University https://ror.org/01cxqmw89 Preposition placement in multilingual constructicons Abstract This contribution adopts a usage-based construction grammar approach to describe the word order variation between fronting (e.g., something with which I was dealing ) and stranding (e.g., something which I was dealing with ) in English as a second language. Using regression analysis, preposition placement in relative clauses is correlated with multiple usage-based variables, including specific lexical items and strings (e.g., with which, deal with ). The results suggest that learners acquire a network of form-meaning constructions which represent their language use at multiple levels of schematicity, ranging from lexically specific prototypes to cross-linguistically shared representations. Moreover, effects of proficiency and lexical strings indicate that constructions remain adaptable to usage throughout learners’ lifetime and involve predictive knowledge, suggesting a dynamic view of constructions. 6 3 2021 5 19 2021 339 374 10.1075/cal.30.11jac https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.30.11jac https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.30.11jac/html arXiv:1603.06042 Andor 2016
