Profile
CONSTRUCTIONS offers a forum for linguistic research concerned with the structure, use, function, and development of ‘constructions’ in language and linguistics. The journal aims at a balanced integration of both notional, informal approaches to constructions in general and more formal treatments, as for example, within the framework of construction grammar. One of the long-term goals is to establish contact between researchers from various perspectives. The term ‘construction’ as understood in this journal is deliberately chosen to have a broad extension and not be limited to any specific definition or linguistic orientation. Constructions is not restricted to any particular language or language family, and aims at combining theoretical, empirical, and applied issues. CONSTRUCTIONS is published as an open access, peer-reviewed electronic journal. As such, it departs from traditional print journals in at least three important ways:
- Online availability
- Speedy publication
- Innovative formats
