Essentials of a Theory of Language Cognition (2019, background): “This extension of the notion of symbolic units from lexis to the grammar was in direct opposition to the mainstream linguistic theories of the day, and it paved the way for subsequent construction grammar approaches to language (e.g., Goldberg, 1995).”
How do forward models work? And why would you want them? (2013, unknown): “Nonetheless, if learners consistently witness one construction in contexts where they might have expected to hear another, the former can statistically preempt the latter (Goldberg 1995; 2006; 2011; Marcotte 2005).”
The logic of syntactic priming and acceptability judgments (2016, unknown): “& Goldberg, A. E. (1999) Structural priming: Purely syntactic? In:”
Change in modal meanings: Another look at the shifting collocates of may (2016, background): “This will give rise to the argument that modal auxiliaries are profitably viewed as constructions in the technical sense (Goldberg 1995, 2006).”
Linking as constraints on word classes in a hierarchical lexicon (2000, background): “Because linking relies on a typed, ne-grained semantic representation, we can account for subtle di erences between the diatheses in which verbs can participate, a point forcefully made by Pinker (1989), Levin (1993), and Goldberg (1995), among others.”
Constructing an understanding of mind: The development of children's social understanding within social interaction (2004, background): “, a theory in one sense of the term) cannot be formulated, because meaning is not mechanistic (see Goldberg 1991). Instead, meaning is indexical. It depends on the location of words or utterances in sequences of interaction (Budwig; see also Suchman 1987; Turnbull 2003). This issue can be illuminate”
Argument Structure in Usage-Based Construction Grammar: Experimental and corpus-based perspectives (2015, background): “Lack of affectedness Second, some conative uses lack the entailment that the patient is affected by the agent’s action, in contrast to the transitive counterpart (Broccias, 2001; Dixon, 1991; Gawron, 1983; Goldberg, 1995; Guerrero Medina, 2011; Levin, 1993; Pinker, 1989; Schlesinger, 1995).”
A control process model of code-switching (2014, background): “…that speakers activate a set of items (words), collocations (e.g., idioms) or syntactic constructions (e.g., a genitive construction) from an inventory of such items (Goldberg, 1995; Ward, 1992; see also Wasserscheidt, in press, who argues specifically for a construction grammar approach to CS).”
Assessing syntactic sophistication in L2 writing: A usage-based approach (2017, methodology): “), which are called constructions (Goldberg, 1995), are functional form– meaning pairings.”
