Complex Lexical Items or CLIs are sequences such as comparable and proudof. They are complex, because they consist of more than one part, but theyare also lexical items: they are likely to be stored as units in speakers'linguistic repertoires. What people know about CLIs and how they use thisknowledge, is the topic of this book. Taking a usage-based view of languageacquisition, Maria Mos investigates children's knowledge of Dutch CLIs in anumber of online and offline experiments. Performance on these tasks iscontrasted with frequency data from corpora and with adult performance.These studies investigate specific CLIs, but also seek to find out if evidencecan be found for knowledge of underlying patterns. The experimental data areinterpreted in the light of a model of Multiple Representations, which draws oninsights from the Construction Grammar framework. Because this bookcombines corpus and experimental data on a topic at the crossroads betweenlexicon, morphology and syntax, it is of interest to linguists coming fromdiverse scientific angles. The analyses convincingly show that it isnecessary to assume that both concrete CLIs and (partially) abstractrepresentations are part of speakers' linguistic repertoires. They should not bethought of as either pertaining to the lexicon or being part of syntax: they areComplex Lexical Items.
