According to this approach, grammar is not innate: it gradually emerges from concrete constructions that are initially tied to individual verbs. The author criticizes purely observational, statistical learning on two grounds: it runs… 2. **[A (very) Brief Introduction to Fluid Construction Grammar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/steels-2006-very-brief-introduction-fluid-construction/)** *(2006 · 6 citations)* The authors present Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG), a new formalism for construction grammar. It was created to test whether this approach can support open-ended dialogue between autonomous embodied agents, in particular robots, about the world they perceive through their sensors. The goal is a language system that… 3. **[Fluid Construction Grammar for Historical and Evolutionary Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wellens-2013-fluid-construction-grammar-historical-evolutionary/)** *(2013)* The paper is a system demonstration of Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG). It is an open computational formalism with which historical linguistics can investigate not only which changes took place in a language, but also which cognitive and cultural mechanisms caused them. FCG builds on a cognitive-functional approach… 4. **[Fluid Construction Grammar: The New Kid on the Block](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/trijp-2012-fluid-construction-grammar-new-kid/)** *(2012)* This is a demonstration paper on Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG). FCG is a formalism that gives cognitive linguistics and construction grammar a precise computational foundation. The authors explain why classical unification-based tools, built into generative theories such as HPSG, are poorly suited to this purpose.… ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Katrien Beuls](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/katrien-beuls/) ×2 - [Pieter Wellens](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pieter-wellens/) ×2 - [Remi van Trijp](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/remi-van-trijp/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 18 times (of the 140,884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [6 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/luc-steels/cited-by/).
