Indeed, constructional approaches, including Diasystematic Construction Grammar, not only offer a useful theoretical framework for empirical studies, but also provide a fresh look at fundamental questions in contact linguistics. This volume continues the series of works on Constructions in Contact (the first two volumes were published in 2018 and 2021). It presents new research on the constructionist modelling of language contact phenomena, the impact of multilingualism on argument structure constructions and the role of phonological units in language contact. The volume thus combines classical areas of constructional research with innovative ones, demonstrating the broad applicability of Construction Grammar for contact linguistics. 40 10 13 2025 10 13 2025 9789027228277 9789027244574 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/cal.40 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027244574 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027244574.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.40/html Anna Hagel Kiel University https://ror.org/04v76ef78 Exploring the notion of intra-word phonological schematicity in intercommunicative decoding Abstract The phonological form of constructions is often mentioned only in a side note, if at all, in CxG contributions. However, phonology plays an important role at all structural levels, including one that has hardly been acknowledged outside a phonological context: the submorphemic level. Evidence from a growing body of research suggests that submorphemic patterns are highly relevant for the cognitive organization of linguistic knowledge. Crucially, submorphemic patterns and the closely related notion of phonological schemas call for a re-evaluation of the syntax-lexicon continuum and raise the question how phonological variability is processed by speakers and integrated into their construct-i-cons. The paper makes a theoretical contribution to this discussion and illustrates the potential complexity of a type of submorphemic pattern that is thought to play a major role in intercommunication involving closely related languages and varieties: sound correspondence patterns. It suggests that sound correspondence patterns can be modelled as constructions that can be phonologically schematic to different degrees on different ‘dimensions’ below the word level. 10 13 2025 10 13 2025 291 317 10.1075/cal.40.08hag https://benjamins.com/catalog/cal.40.08hag https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/cal.40.08hag/html 10.3366/word.2019.0150 10.1515/9783110213881.2.899 10.1121/1.4919317 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 10.1075/cal.8 10.1007/978-3-319-14102-2_4 Niederdeutsch und die skandinavischen Sprachen Braunmüller 35 1995 Semikommunikation und semiotische Strategien.
