A first encounter with Fluid Construction Grammar

This chapter introduces the main mechanisms available in FCG for representing constructions and transient structures. It sketches the process whereby constructions are applied to expand transient structures and illustrates how templates are used to define constructions in a more abstract and modular way. Lexical constructions are used as the main source of examples.
