This chapter addresses central topics in constructicography from the viewpoint of the Swedish constructicon project (SweCcn), focusing on practical constructicon development. The full process of construction description is described and discussed, from selection via corpus analysis to finished… read more
2018 Chapter 9. Aligning constructicons across languages: A trilingual comparison between English, Swedish, and Brazilian Portuguese Constructicography: Constructicon development across languages, Lyngfelt, Benjamin, Lars Borin, Kyoko Ohara and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 255–302 | Chapter

Building on previous work on the alignment of frame-based multilingual lexical databases, we explore possibilities… read more
2014 Towards interlingual constructicography: On correspondence between constructicon resources for English and Swedish Frames, constructions, and computation, Borin, Lars, Gerard de Melo, Karin Friberg Heppin and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 9–33 | Article

The entries in Berkeley’s English constructicon have been compared to Swedish, with a focus on potential correspondences in a Swedish constructicon. In most cases,… read more
2014 From construction candidates to constructicon entries: An experiment using semi-automatic methods for identifying constructions in corpora Frames, constructions, and computation, Borin, Lars, Gerard de Melo, Karin Friberg Heppin and Tiago Timponi Torrent (eds.), pp. 114–135 | Article

The experiment was conducted as part of the ongoing efforts to develop a Swedish constructicon. Using an automatic method to suggest constructions has advantages… read more
