A new volume that co-edited by me and my colleagues from the University of Gothenburg has just been published:

This volume presents a number of recent studies on Scandinavian languages from a construction grammar perspective, covering a wide range of topics: from syntactic to phonological phenomena, from language change to language acquisition.
My contribution is on taboo-avoiding constructions in Swedish and covers both phonetic schemas and radical coercion:
