Abstract This paper proposes an alignment between aspects of pattern grammar (Francis, 1993; Hunston & Francis, 2000) and construction grammar (Goldberg, 2006). Pattern Grammar describes the grammatical behaviour of individual words at a specific level of generality. The paper claims that grammar patterns and the groups of words identified as occurring with them can be used to propose candidate constructions. This claim is illustrated with verbs and with adjectives. The paper proposes that the term ‘construction’ be used to refer to a sub-set of instances of a grammar pattern, that sub-set identified by the occurrence of a limited set of node words. It also proposes that the Pattern Grammar reference resources that are already available be reconfigured as a constructicon. The paper discusses how constructions could be presented to (English) language teachers and learners and how a constructicon might be organised.

模式、结构和应用语言学

摘要 本文提出了模式语法 (Francis, 1993; Hunston & Francis, 2000) 和结构语法 (Goldberg, 2006) 之间的一致性。模式语法在特定的一般性水平上描述了单个单词的语法行为。该论文声称，语法模式和识别出与它们一起出现的单词组可用于提出候选结构。这个主张用动词和形容词来说明。该论文建议使用术语“构造”来指代语法模式实例的子集，该子集通过有限的节点词集的出现来标识。它还建议将已经可用的模式语法参考资源重新配置为结构。
