THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND THE OBJECT OF THE CONSTRUCTIVE GRAMMAR RESEARCH

Abstract

The article regards the phenomenon “the Construction Grammar”. The term “construction” takes one of the central positions in the Linguistics. Its theoretical importance is entirely grounded and proved by time. The construction has always been a necessary component of the traditional linguistic analysis, that was used by the scholars as a basic structure unit for the research of the proposition grammar structure. The construction approach in Linguistics origins in the Case Grammar, that was developed by Ch. Fillmore. He represented some articles which concerned the Frame Semantics at the end of 1960s and at the beginning of 1970s. The Frame Semantics has become the main component of the Construction Grammar analysis. The modern researches in the field of the Frame Semantics are widened with the help of the intensive corpuse researches within Ch. Fillmore’s project which was called “the Frame Net”. Ch. Fillmore had been working at the constructive grammar together with P. Kay, who concentrated mainly on the formalization of its various semantic aspects. In the 1990s P. Kay’s works were aimed at the perfection of the descriptive system and the common formalization of the grammar constructions. Embodied Construction Grammar is so called “carried out” constructive grammar. It is the scientific approach in Linguistics aimed at the computer usage of the received results. This approach is a means to model the cognitive and nervous mechanisms of the language units linguistic behaviour with the help of the computer.
