Romance Perspectives on Construction Grammar
Edited by Hans C. Boas and Francisco Gonzálvez-García
The chapters in this book show how the different flavors of Construction Grammar provide illuminating insights into the syntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse-functional properties of specific phenomena in Romance languages such as (Castilian) Spanish, French, Romanian, and Latin from a… read more[Constructional Approaches to Language, 15] 2014. x, 316 pp.
Exploring Functional-Cognitive Space
Christopher S. Butler and Francisco Gonzálvez-García
This book, intended primarily for researchers and advanced students, expands greatly on previous work by the authors exploring the topography of the multidimensional “functional-cognitive space” within which functional, cognitive and/or constructionist approaches to language can be located. The… read more[Studies in Language Companion Series, 157] 2014. xviii, 579 pp.
The Functional Perspective on Language and Discourse: Applications and implications
Edited by María de los Ángeles Gómez González, Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco Gonzálvez-García and Angela Downing
Over the last forty years, the functionalist approach to linguistic description and explanation has given rise to several major schools of thought that share two crucial assumptions: (i) form is not independent of meaning/function or language use; and (ii) linguistic description and explanation… read more[Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 247] 2014. viii, 292 pp.
Theory and Practice in Functional-Cognitive Space
Edited by María de los Ángeles Gómez González, Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Francisco Gonzálvez-García
The differences among functionalist, cognitivist and/or constructionist models are generally taken to be not absolute, but rather a matter of emphasis and degree, with an increasing permeability between paradigms arising from cross-fertilizing influences. This book further explores this burgeoning… read more[Studies in Functional and Structural Linguistics, 68] 2014. vi, 327 pp.

Edited by Francisco Gonzálvez-García, María Sandra Peña-Cervel and Lorena Pérez-Hernández
The contributions in this volume go beyond the Contemporary Theory of Metaphor complementing it in a number of relevant ways. Some of the papers argue for a more dynamic, interdisciplinary approach to metaphor looking into it from semiotic, psychological and socio-cultural perspectives. Other… read more[Benjamins Current Topics, 56] 2013. vi, 318 pp.

2020 Metonymy meets coercion: The case of the intensification of nouns in attributive and predicative constructions in Spanish Figurative Meaning Construction in Thought and Language, Baicchi, Annalisa (ed.), pp. 151–184 | Chapter
Drawing on Cognitive Construction Grammar (Goldberg, 2006), this chapter furnishes a usage-based analysis of coercion involving the intensification of a prima facie non-gradable category, such as nouns. Our data analysis reveals that, in present-day Spanish, intensifiers (e.g. muy ‘very’,… read more
2020 Maximizing the explanatory power of constructions in Cognitive Construction Grammar(s) The Wealth and Breadth of Construction-Based Research, Colleman, Timothy, Frank Brisard, Astrid De Wit, Renata Enghels, Nikos Koutsoukos, Tanja Mortelmans and María Sol Sansiñena (eds.), pp. 110–121 | Article

First, the anatomy of a construction should spell… read more

The aim is to extend this work to… read more

Drawing on a cursory contrastive analysis of (i) the reflexive subjective-transitive construction, (ii) the self-descriptive subjective transitive construction, and (iii) the What’s X doing Y? (WXDY) construction in English and Spanish, this chapter explores the feasibility of capturing intra- and… read more

This paper provides a fine-grained analysis of the “X is so N(P)” constructionin present-day English, in which the noun in the A slot necessarily involvesmetonymic inferencing and can be determinerless, even if it is countable. Thisconstruction conveys a positive or negative assessment by the… read more
2014 Chapter 6. Bringing together fragments and constructions: Evidence from complementation in English and Spanish Romance Perspectives on Construction Grammar, Boas, Hans C. and Francisco Gonzálvez-García (eds.), pp. 181–226 | Article
In this article, I argue that Thompson’s (2002) fragment analysis of (finite) complementation in English, while insightful, cannot be plausibly duplicated for all complementation strategies in English and Spanish. Specifically, this analysis cannot account for a number of semantico-pragmatic… read more
