Diachronic construction grammar and grammaticalization theory
Author(s): Dirk Noëlpp.: 177–202 (26)More LessGrammaticalization theorists are becoming increasingly aware of the relevance of constructions to their discipline, to the point that one of its leading exponents has recently defined grammaticalization as the creation of new constructions. This is precisely the problem which construction grammarians engaging in diachronic research are addressing — or one they should be addressing, because to date diachronic construction grammar has not really taken off as a discipline. The question arises of whether grammaticalization theory could simply be turned into the historical branch of construction grammar, or whether diachronic construction grammar has its own raison d’être as a separate discipline. Since grammaticalization theoretical practice is fairly narrowly focused on the change of extant constructions along a path towards the grammatical end of the meaning continuum, there is a need for a wider discipline that also concerns itself with the primary emergence of constructions. Though grammaticalization presupposes ‘constructionalization’, the two developments need to be kept apart because not all constructions go on to grammaticalize.

Interpersonal modification in the English noun phrase
Author(s): Freek Van de Veldepp.: 203–230 (28)More LessThis article gives an overview of the various interpersonal modifiers in the English noun phrase, several of which seem to have been overlooked in formal as well as functional grammars. On the theoretical side, this article is concerned with how to bring the constructions at issue under a Functional Discourse Grammar representation (Hengeveld and Mackenzie 2006, in prep.).
