Constructions at Work or at Rest?
Rens Bod

Abstract:
"'Constructions at Work' is an impressive piece of work which has
    already become a landmark in linguistics. In my commentary I will
    not go into the wealth of linguistic insights presented by Adele
    Goldberg, nor will I question the basic assumptions of
    Construction Grammar (CxG). Instead, I will deal with only one
    question: to what extent are we offered a model of language
    acquisition and/or language use in Goldberg's book?"
