Just finished reviewing @grambelli.bsky.social's book (available soon): a clear and engaging synthesis of the major strands of work on compositionality, analogy, and usage, while pushing #ConstructionGrammar toward a more explicit engagement with processing and computation. Highly recommended!

Does language rely solely on rules, or is there more to it?
🔎Explore the interplay between compositionality and analogy from a constructionist view in this New Cambridge Element (Elements in #ConstructionGrammar)
👉Download for free: cup.org/41DP95c
⚠️Available just for 4 weeks!
