This Element presents a constructionist approach to clausal syntax in Swedish. Swedish syntax poses some challenges, particularly as regards word order. Clausal and phrasal constructions at different levels of generality interact with argument structure constructions. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
This Element presents a constructionist approach to clausal syntax in Swedish. Swedish syntax poses some challenges to language learners and linguists alike, particularly as regards word order. We handle these challenges in a network model of Swedish syntax, in which clausal and phrasal constructions at different levels of generality interact with argument structure constructions and other syntactic structures. Key to the analysis is a restrictive treatment of clausal hierarchy, a view of constructions as conventional usage patterns, and treating combination of constructions by conceptual blending. Thus, the model combines a formalized overall account of clausal syntax with a view of language as inherently usage-based. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
