Organization and reorganization of a constructional paradigm: the case of dative two-argument constructions from Latin to Modern French

Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies

Abstract

This paper presents arguments in favour of extending the concept of paradigms to constructional systems. The term “construction”, as used here, refers to the level of the sentence, labelled “schematic constructions” by Croft and Cruse. The study of organization and reorganization of dative two-argument constructions in terms of paradigm modification is based on extensive electronic corpora of Classical Latin and French (from Old to Modern French). The views on grammar and paradigmaticity presented here are elaborated in close collaboration with Lars Heltoft and Jens Nørgård-Sørensen, as part of a research programme on “Grammaticalisation and Paradigmatic Structure”.
