Construction Grammar; Argument Structure; Language Acquisition.Abstract
This paper mainly studies Goldberg’s ideas on construction grammar and analyzes how construction grammar can help people learn a language. A construction unites form, meaning and function. Construction grammar proposes a new idea about the nature of language and offers strong explanations for many previously unexplained features of language. It presents a new way of understanding language. Beyond pure theoretical discourse, this paper also explores the practical value of construction‑oriented thinking for second‑language pedagogy and corpus‑driven linguistic research.
