• On a special type of English there-existential construction and its alternant: A perspective in Construction Grammar

  Yusuke Minami

  This paper examines an understudied type of the English there-existential con-struction that is used to describe a mental experience which accompanies a cer-tain state denoted by the gerund form (e.g., There is comfort in knowing that other people felt the same way). It can be observed that the preposition in of the final prepositional phrase of the construction is sometimes omitted, making a formal variant which exhibits no semantic/functional departure from the full-form variant. This will then be argued to be problematic for the view which strictly follows the functional principle that stipulates an isomorphic relation-ship between formal differences and semantic/functional distinctions. From the perspective of Construction Grammar, it will be shown that the problem can be resolved by referring to horizontal links that connect structurally different con-structions; in contrast to well researched types of there-existential construction, the construction in question is horizontally linked to a transitive-verb construc-tion in which the subject refers to who has the mental experience denoted by the object. It will then be suggested that this horizontal link is responsible for the observed formal variation. Lastly, the issue of formulating a principle for free formal variation in grammar will be addressed.

• Subjectivity, figurativity, and variety around linguistic creativity

  小松原哲太, 朴秀娟, 南佑亮

  Linguistic creativity has been studied in multidisciplinary research fields including theoretical and applied linguistics, stylistics, sociolinguistics, literary studies, communication studies, cultural studies, media studies, anthropology, and education. However, there is no agreement on the factors that motivate the creative use of language. This paper reviewed case studies of linguistic analysis of creativity and argued that linguistic creativity involves at least three factors: markedness of construal, rhetorical effect, and deviation from the norm. First, cognitive linguistic studies on personal pronouns in English reveal that a creative expression reflects marked cognitive construal involving subjectivity. Second, rhetorical studies on framing show that metaphors yield rhetorical effects to create a new perspective on communicative situations, which can lead to changes in cognition, emotion, and action. Third, research on Japanese-as-a-second-language learners points out that misuse by learners includes features of novel expression that may give rise to new uses by native speakers. Cognitive linguistics, rhetoric, and second language acquisition research have shared an interest in linguistic creativity, but few attempts have been made to integrate the knowledge acquired by individual studies. Future work will include empirical research focusing on a single linguistic phenomenon involving creativity from different theoretical angles, which will shed new light on the theory of linguistic creativity.

• Some thoughts on "Allostructions"

  Yusuke MINAMI

  Cappelle (2006) formulated the “allostruction” model to capture the close link between two word-order variants of the particle placement alternation in transitive English verb-particle combinations (i.e. [verb – particle – object] vs. [verb – object – particle]). The model has raised awareness of the possibility that paradigmatic (“horizontal”) links across constructions with formal differences, in addition to long established “vertical” links, play a key role in pursuing the speaker’s knowledge of language in the Construction Grammar enterprise; it has generated a number of analyses, and has also sparked considerable discussion on its viability and limitations. Against this background, this paper will take up two recent critical arguments about the allostruction model, which claim that the model should not be applied as widely (or freely) as originally envisioned by Cappelle. In light of these, I present a tentative hypothesis that, as for linguistics units (“constructions”) larger than the phrasal level, the allostructional relation only holds between exactly two variants which are minimally distinguished in form. This, I argue, will avoid the problem of the allostructional “inflation” under one and the same supercategoy (“constructeme”). I then suggest that some restrictions are required for this model to be more of a viable theoretical tool to investigate the “constructicon” of the speaker.

• A language model approach to near-synonymous grammatical constructions

  Yusuke Minami, Yuzo Morishi

  The 6th Asia Pacific Corpus Linguistics Conference (APCLC 2026), Sep. 2026, English, Many linguistic studies have examined subtle semantic/functional differences between near-synonymous pairs of grammatical constructions. In such studies, however, as synonymity is identified based solely upon scholars' intuitions, potential connections across constructions could be left unnoticed. To addresses this issue, this study seeks a relationship between the personal necessity construction (You don't need to do that.) and the impersonal necessity construction (There's no need to do that.), which have seldom been treated as being synonymous presumably because of the huge structural differences. We conducted an experiment with a (large) language model, GPT-2. First, 50 examples of each construction, including its preceding context, were randomly sampled from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. Then an alternative version for each construction was created by replacing the original with the other, and the same procedure was carried out without preceding contexts. Finally, each of the 400 stimuli was evaluated using GPT-2, and their cross-entropy values were computed. The differences between the original and alternative ones were statistically examined by paired t-tests. The results suggest that, while the constructions differ with respect to preferred probabilistic contexts, they are treated as being more similar in isolation, thereby supporting the synonymous relationship between the two constructions., International conference

  本研究が着目する属性名詞によるthere/have交替現象にはデータや研究の蓄積がないため、初年度はまず(1)基礎的なデータ収集、および(2)2年目以降の本格的な調査・分析に向けた問題の明確化に努めた。 (1)については、電子コーパスであるCorpus of Contemporary American English（以下COCA）と英米の現代小説やエッセイから事例を収集し、名詞ごとにエクセルによるデータベース化をおこなった。この調査に伴い、当該交替現象で観察される名詞の数は10余りという当初の予想よりもかなり多く、年度末時点で30を越える名詞について確認できている。 (2)については、当該構文交替現象の本格的な分析を進めるための問題点の特定を試みた。先行研究では「存在」を表すthere構文の変異体としてhave構文が位置付けられており、両者の使い分けはについては(i)談話的要因（情報構造）と(ii)意味概念的要因（描かれている存在物の有生性や、存在物と場所の間の関係がどのようなものか）が指摘されている。これを踏まえ、特に(ii)については、先行研究で扱われた事例が「存在物―存在場所」の関係を表すのに対し、本研究の対象とする現象は「属性―属性の所有者」関係を表すことから、従来の一般化や分析をそのまま適用することが困難であることを明らかにした。 以上の研究成果の一部は、英文論文 "Abstract Nouns in the There/Have Alternations" （『神戸女子大学文学部紀要』第53巻, pp. 11-23, 2020年3月.）および和文論文「属性名詞を目的語とする前置詞句付きhave構文の諸相」（『英語学の深まり・英語学からの広がり』pp. 84-95, 英宝社，2020年3月）にまとめられている。


• A New Direction of Construction Grammar: Through Another Look at the Pretty Construction in English

  This study was an attempt to give a cognitive construction-grammar analysis of specific sub-constructions of the Pretty constructions,especially the ones with a particular verb of vision specified (e.g.look at). First, it was claimed that the construction with look at indicates one’s contrasting evaluations about a targeted entity. Second, building upon the finding that a set of instances of the specific sub-construction with see are semantically connected with an idiomatic construction for all to see, it was shown that for all to see is composed of a cluster of constructions. Both of these results strongly support the methodology as advanced in the cognitive school of construction grammar.
