ELUs are an interesting problem on at least two different levels: from a grammatical (or grammar-theoretical) as well as from a computational perspective. How do ELUs fit into a grammar model, and how can they be implemented in a computational system? The answers to these questions are illustrated with three case studies of rather well-investigated Dutch constructions, namely the NPN (as in dog after dog) and a related Dutch phenomenon, the NCoN construction (as in kind noch kraai,'child nor crow'), the Dutch way-construction, and the dative alternation (as in Jan geeft Piet een bal ('Jan gives Piet a ball') vs. Jan geeft een bal aan Piet ('Jan gives a ball to Piet')). For all three constructions, a formal Construction Grammar analysis, based on Sign-Based Construction Grammar, is presented, and additionally, it is shown how these ELUs are tackled in the semantic parser/generator Delilah.
