Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2011

Thematic Issue: Emergent Constructions - Construction Grammar andGrammaticalization.

Abstract: Given the growing interest of both Brazilian and foreign researchersin the correlation between grammaticalization and construction grammarstudies, the proposal for this thematic volume aims at stimulating the debateon this new research field by the proposition of some main questions whichmust be addressed by any research in this area. Hence, we will lookingforward to receive paper from linguists who are interested ingrammaticalization of constructions and whose work answers all or some ofthe following questions: (a) how the term 'construction' may be defined insuch an approach; (b) how the term 'grammaticalization' may be understoodin such an approach; (c) whether it is possible to consider grammaticalizationas a unidirectional linear process, organized in clines; and (d) how to bringtogether the notion of the radial organization of grammar and thegrammaticalization paradigm.
