Adapting a linguistic constructicon resource to L2 learners and instructors: a challenging endeavor
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-03)We present the challenges faced and decisions made in creating the Russian Constructicon (https://constructicon.github.io/russian/) as a multifunctional resource. We focus on two crucial categories of target users, linguists and L2 learners & instructors, and show that they have somewhat conflicting needs and expectations. While linguists want a maximally comprehensive inventory and its description, ... -
Construxercise! A new digital resource with construction-based exercises for L2 Russian
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-03)In this talk, we will discuss how we can bridge the gap between a constructicon resource and second language (L2) learners, drawing our insights from the actual practice of construction-based teaching. We suggest that having a constructicon resource, even with a user-friendly design, might not be enough to successfully engage L2 students with its content. We 1) summarize the accommodations for L2 ... -
Construxercise!: Implementation of a construction-based approach to language pedagogy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)We propose a construction-based approach to learning and teaching Russian as a second language (L2) and present an innovative pedagogical resource called Construxercise! Hands-on learning of Russian constructions (https://constructicon.github.io/construxercise-rus/) that implements this approach. The resource offers practical exercises for mastering Russian discourse constructions that are thoroughly ... -
From data to theory: An emergent semantic classification based on the large-scale Russian constructicon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)The semantic classification of over 2,200 constructions in the Russian Con- structicon has emerged objectively from empirical analysis. The resulting semantic classification comports with and goes beyond frame semantics, revealing complex patterns of related constructions verified against corpus data and by a panel of native speakers. Our model of a constructicon can inform and complement existing ... -
How to threaten in Russian: a constructionist approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-22)The article analyzes various linguistic means to carry out threats in Russian with special focus on 27 constructions tagged as “Threat” in the Russian Constructicon, a linguistic repository of more than 2200 constructions in the Russian language. The major purpose of the current study is to investigate what constitutes a threat in Russian and how threats are related to other constructions. Unlike ... -
Prohibitive constructions in Russian: Families and clusters
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)In this study we explore the relationships of constructions in families and clusters. We examine fifty-seven multi-word Russian grammatical constructions that encode prohibitive semantics and model them as a radial category network that consists of two distinct clusters formed by eleven families of constructions. We show that each cluster of families is centered around a local prototype. The data ... -
Russkij Konstruktion: Novyj lingvističeskij resurs, ego ustrojstvo i specifika
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)We present a new open-access electronic resource named the Russian Constructicon that offers a searchable database of Russian constructions accompanied by descriptions of their properties and illustrated with corpus examples. The project was carried out over the period 2016-2020 and at present contains an inventory of over 2200 multi-word constructions of Contemporary Standard Russian. We prioritize ... -
