New book: Constructions in Contact 3

In autumn 2025, another anthology on the topic of construction grammar and language contact was published, edited by Hans Boas (University of Texas at Austin) and myself, with eight contributions on various topics and issues in this field:

  • Boas, Hans C. & Steffen Höder (eds.). 2025. Constructions in contact 3. Constructional schemas and patterns in contact (Constructional Approaches to Language 40). Benjamins <DOI: 10.1075/cal.40>.
