  • More about Cognitive Foundation of Post-colonial Englishes: Construction Grammar as the Cognitive Theory for the Dynamic Model

English is spoken all over the world, and Construction Grammar can provide a cognitive foundation for the Dynamic Model's assumptions. A Constructionist Grammar Approach to the Dynamic Model generates new research questions concerning the productivity of syntactic patterns across Dynamic Model phases.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 75 pages

English, a versatile language, is spoken across the globe, spanning from Africa to Asia, Europe to America. Beyond its role as a foreign language, English holds significance as a primary or secondary language variety in numerous countries, originating from its colonial past. The Dynamic Model, a prominent sociolinguistic framework, has been instrumental in understanding the evolution of Post-Colonial Englishes. In this Element, I aim to shed light on how Construction Grammar, a leading cognitive syntactic theory, can provide a cognitive foundation for the assumptions made by the Dynamic Model. By integrating Construction Grammar into the Dynamic Model, we can gain a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics of language evolution. Moreover, a Constructionist Grammar Approach to the Dynamic Model opens up new avenues for research, exploring the productivity of syntactic patterns across different phases of the Dynamic Model.
