An introduction to the Lexical Constructional Model (LEXICOM (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
This paper introduces the Lexical Constructional Model (LEXICOM), a theoretical framework that bridges the gap between lexical and syntactic meaning by combining lexical representation systems and constructional representations in grammar. The authors critique existing functional and cognitive approaches for their limitations and assert the necessity of an interactive model that considers both internal and external constraints on language structure. Key grammatical phenomena are examined to support the argument for an integrated model that accounts for the interplay of semantics and syntax.
