RESUMEN A raíz del Proyecto de Definición y Selección de Competencias (DeSeCo) (OCDE, 2005) en el que se definen las competencias como la adquisición de los conocimientos, capacidades, destrezas y actitudes necesarias para la vida adulta, el sistema educativo español incorpora las competencias en el currículo oficial. Para conseguir el desarrollo c...

A central aim of Construction Grammar is to model links within the construct-i-con. This paper investigates three constructions that share one property: an atypical element in the object slot. The constructions are therefore not prototypically transitive. Structural priming (implemented with an automatic maze variant of self-paced reading) is used...
Little attention has been paid to the English Superlative Object Construction (SOC), as in She worked her hardest. The historical grammarians Jespersen (1909–1949) and Poutsma (1904–1929) are the only ones who do touch on the SOC, and they do so in passing relying on what seem to be the prototypical examples of the construction. This empirical evid...

English verbs can combine with an object-like (or Objoid) element consisting of a possessive and a superlative. These Superlative Objoids do not add a participant to the event but function like manner adverbs (they work their hardest, i.e. they work extremely hard). This paper is the first to use diachronic evidence from a corpus of Late Modern Ame...
This paper provides further insight into the Reaction Object Construction (she nodded intelligence) as a case of constructional contamination, a phenomenon that describes the relation between two or more constructions such that usage frequencies of one construction influence the patterns of variation in another one (Pijpops and Van de Velde 2016)....
This paper discusses a case of constructional contamination (Pijpops and Van de Velde 2016; Pijpops et al. 2018), a phenomenon which describes the relation between two or more constructions such that usage frequencies of one construction influence the patterns of variation in another (Hilpert and Flach 2022). Specifically, I investigate the influen...
This article provides a description of the British Sentimental Novel Corpus (BSNC) and a case study that explores, at the level of the individual, the relation between the Reaction Object Construction (ROC) and the Direct Discourse Construction (DDC). The BSNC is a large-scale specialised corpus that comprises full novels of eleven canonical author...
This paper explores the growth of the Reaction Object Construction (ROC) as in Pauline smiled her thanks , offering new insights into its characterisation and historical development from the perspective of Construction Grammar ( Goldberg 1995 , 2006 , 2019 ) and its application to patterns of language change ( Hilpert 2013 ; Traugott & Trousdale 20...
This volume includes eleven papers pertaining to different areas of linguistics and organised into three sections. Part I contains diachronic studies which cover data from Middle English to Present-Day English and which explore phenomena such as the status of extender tags, the distribution of free adjuncts, post-auxiliary ellipsis, and the use of...
Structures such as “she muttered contempt” or “she smiled appreciation” have been referred to as Reaction Object Constructions (ROCs), and consist of a normally intransitive verb followed by an object that conveys an emotion, such that the whole construction can be paraphrased as “express an emotion by V-ing”. Although ROCs have been discussed rece...
In this study presupposition is examined from the point of view of the type of information assumed by advertisers (Levinson 1983; Goddard 1998) and the functions they fulfi l in achieving persuasion in nutritional advertising. Thus, 25 headlines from 5 health and fi tness magazines (2012) have been classifi ed according to the type of covert inform...
