Grammaticalization meets Construction Grammar: Opportunities, challenges and potential incompatibilities

In the wake of this work, efforts have been made in grammaticalization research to more precisely articulate the largely pretheoretical notion of construction in the theoretical framework of construction grammar. Confronting grammaticalization research with the framework of construction grammar also brought up the question how grammaticalization relates to constructional change in general (Noël, 2007; Gisborne & Patten, 2011; Heine et al., 2016). As such, grammaticalization research increasingly interacts and converges with the emerging field of diachronic construction grammar (Israel, 1996; Bergs & Diewald, 2008; Barðdal et al., 2015).
