The contributions both deepen and widen the focus of construction grammar applied to Nordic languages by dealing with a variety of topics, such as the constructional network, pseudo-coordination, additional language learning and emerging multilingualism, prototypical semantics in argument structure constructions, and domain-specific discourse and language behavior. The volume showcases the vibrant research activity within part of the construction grammar community dealing with Nordic languages, contributing to the knowledge about the structure, use and learning of these languages, as well as to the field of construction grammar as a whole. 37 11 7 2023 10 10 2023 9789027214317 9789027249302 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/cal.37 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027249302 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027249302.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.37/html Anna Hagel Kiel University https://ror.org/04v76ef78 Sound correspondence constructions in Interscandinavian decoding Abstract The three Continental Scandinavian languages Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are closely related and share a large pool of Interscandinavian cognates, but a variety of phonological differences between the languages can obscure the lexical similarities and make spoken Interscandinavian communication a challenge for untrained listeners. It is therefore advantageous to know about sound correspondences, and applying sound correspondence ‘rules’ is thought to be one of the major strategies in Interscandinavian decoding. How speakers analyse, acquire and utilize such phonological patterns has not been investigated so far, however – neither theoretically nor empirically. Using example correspondences between Danish and Swedish, the chapter illustrates how the acquisition of sound correspondence rules could look like from a Construction Grammar perspective, more precisely, from the perspective of Diasystematic Construction Grammar ( Höder, 2018 ). It models knowledge about sound correspondences as a combination of two language-specific constructions and one cross-linguistic language-unspecific construction capturing the equivalence relation between the two language-specific ones. Besides specific sound correspondence constructions, also the acquisition of more abstract constructions presenting a generalization over several specific correspondences is illustrated. The cognitive plausibility of sound correspondence constructions at different levels of abstraction is discussed against the background of an ongoing debate in the CxG community about higher-order schemas. 11 7 2023 10 10 2023 55 80 10.1075/cal.37.03hag https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.37.03hag https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.37.03hag/html Mechanisms of speech recognition Ainsworth 1976 10.3366/word.2019.0150 Internordisk språkförståelse: Föredrag och diskussioner vid ett symposium på Rungstedgaard utanför Köpenhamn den 24–26 mars 1980, anordnat av Sekretariatet för Nordiskt Kulturellt Samarbete vid Nordiska Ministerrådet Bannert 37 1981 Referat av diskussionen i sektionen talperceptionsforskning och nordisk hörförståelse 10.1353/lan.2004.0056 Ungdom og naboland: en undersøkelse av skolens og fjernsynets betydning for nabospråksforståelsen Bø 1978 Skandinaver samtalar: Språkliga och interaktionella strategier i samtal mellan danskar, norrmän och svenska Börestam Uhlmann 1994 Nordisk tidskrift för vetenskap, konst och industri Börestam Uhlmann 73 239 1997 Utblick för inblick: Några aspekter på grannspråkskommunikation i teori och praktik Niederdeutsch und die skandinavischen Sprachen Braunmüller 35 1995 Semikommunikation und semiotische Strategien: Bausteine zu einem Modell für die Verständigung im Norden zur Zeit der Hanse 10.1111/1473-4192.00022 Semikommunikation, rezeptive Mehrsprachigkeit und verwandte Phänomene: Eine bibliographische Bestandsaufnahme Braunmüller 2001 Man skal bare kaste sig ud i det: En interviewundersøgelse af unge i Nordens nabosprogsforståelse i praksis Brink 2016 10.1017/CBO9780511612886 10.1515/9783110292022-033 10.1007/978-3-319-74394-3_12 EuroCom.
