Abstract

This study explores the possibility of integrating pattern grammar and local grammar into construction grammar research and the value of such research for EAP writing pedagogy. Using data taken from a corpus compiled from Linguistics research articles, our study shows that local grammar analyses of grammar patterns help to identify ‘pattern-meaning’ combinations. We further describe the functions of such combinations in academic contexts and argue that they can be interpreted as constructions at the mid-level of specificity. We also demonstrate the organisation of these constructions into a constructicon for pedagogical purposes. The implications and applications are subsequently discussed, highlighting in particular that the constructicon not only offers an inventory of pattern-meaning pairings available to express meanings, but also provides quantitative information about the association between verbs and constructions. Overall, our study indicates that the integration of pattern grammar, local grammar and construction grammar could be of immense potential value for EAP writing research and pedagogy.

将模式语法和地方语法整合到 EAP 语境中的构式识别和教学构式的开发中:一项探索性研究
本研究探讨了将模式语法和地方语法整合到结构语法研究中的可能性,以及这种研究对 EAP 写作教学法的价值。通过使用从语言学研究文章语料库中获取的数据,我们的研究表明,对语法模式的局部语法分析有助于识别 "模式-意义 "组合。我们进一步描述了这些组合在学术语境中的功能,并认为它们可以被解释为中级特异性构式。我们还演示了如何将这些构词法组织成一个构词法图标,用于教学目的。我们随后讨论了其意义和应用,特别强调了构式库不仅提供了可用于表达意义的模式-意义配对清单,还提供了动词和构式之间关联的定量信息。总之,我们的研究表明,整合模式语法、地方语法和构式语法对 EAP 写作研究和教学具有巨大的潜在价值。
