CxG does not come out of nowhere.
Typically associated with Cognitive Linguistics,
partly because many of the linguists that are involved in
CxG are also involved in Cognitive Linguistics; partly because CxG and Cognitive Linguistics share many theoretical and philosophical foundations.

What is Construction Grammar?
Construction Grammar (CxG): a theory of syntax in which constructions are the basic unit of grammatical representation.
from schematic complex constructions to substantive atomic constructions. 3. Constructions: organized in a network, chiefly by taxonomic relations and partwhole relations. 4. (not universally accepted) The mental representation of a construction: determined not only by the (non)predictability of the constructional properties, but also by token and type frequency.
discourse, conversational system and so on.
This family of approaches in which many linguists with varying backgrounds have converged on the above key insights is referred to as Constructionist
Linguists seek a characterization of the nature of linguistic knowledge. There is a need to posit a basic unit in linguistic studies via which grammatical units of other levels are explained. 设定语法中的某一单位为研究的基础，通 过该基础单位的研究来解释其它各级语法 单位。这个作为基础研究的单位就取得了 研究“本位”的地位。

Course Description
构式语法是20世纪80年代末在认知语言学背景下逐渐形成的 一门新兴语言学流派，主要对语言各层面的句法、语义、语 用作一整合性研究，并逐渐深入到外语教学、二语习得、修 辞学等方面的研究。构式语法现已成一门显学，具有广阔的 发展前景。本课程以构式语法基本理论为线索，着重讨论构 式语法的基本原理、研究方法及其在语言研究中的应用，以 及解决外语教学、二语习得等方面的理论与实践问题。

1. Constructions: symbolic units, a pairing of form and meaning.
