Abstract

Sign-Based Construction Grammar (<jats:sc>sbcg</jats:sc>) is, on the one hand, a formalized version of Berkeley Construction Grammar (<jats:sc>bcg</jats:sc>), and, on the other hand, a further development of constructionist Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (<jats:sc>hpsg</jats:sc>). The volume edited by Hans Boas and Ivan Sag is the first book length presentation of the framework. Its centerpiece is a 130-page synopsis of the theory by Ivan Sag. The other contributions to the volume provide background, justification, case studies, an extension to diachronic syntax and a presentation of the FrameNet Constructicon. This review gives a guided tour of the framework, explaining its central notions and assumptions, as well as the notation in which they are cast. It also compares the<jats:sc>sbcg</jats:sc>framework with other types of Construction Grammar and with<jats:sc>hpsg</jats:sc>. The case studies are summarized and briefly evaluated.
