Explain Me This : Creativity, Competition, and the Partial Productivity of Constructions
Author：Goldberg, Adele E.

Adele E. Goldberg

• In the book “Explain Me This: Creativity, Competition, and the Partial Productivity of Constructions”, the author explores how these creative but constrained language skills emerge from a combination of general cognitive mechanisms and experience.  Shedding critical light on an enduring linguistic paradox, Goldberg demonstrates how words and abstract constructions are generalized and constrained in the same ways.  When learning language, we record partially abstracted tokens of language within the high-dimensional conceptual space that is used when we speak or listen.  Our implicit knowledge of language includes dimensions related to form, function, and social context. 
• Adele Eva Goldberg is an American linguist, best known for the construction grammar in the tradition of cognitive linguistics.  Her study approach stresses that both the functional and statistical aspects of constructions emerge from the same learning mechanisms.
