Participants completed a comprehension task with ...

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 ...
