Construction grammar is usually associated with idiomaticity, the lexico-grammatical continuum, and networks of constructions. What has so far been overlooked is that constructions are based on patterns and that linguistic activity operates via patterns of construction. This volume discusses issues relating to the form-function relationship as well as aspects of the analysis, acquisition, mediation, and interlingual comparison of constructions.
