English Sentence Constructions
English Sentence Constructions departs from a usage-based theoretical perspective in which all language units -- which we refer to as constructions -- have both a meaning and form, and context is all-important in determining the function and form of these constructions. As a starting-level module, English Sentence Constructions guides students of English or Language at tertiary level through different levels of analysis at the sentence, clause, phrase, and word level.The book starts with an explanation of different sentence types and structures (Chapters 1 and 2), zooms in on the verb phrase as the central component of any sentence (in Chapters 3 and 4), before zooming in even closer, discussing word classes (Chapter 5) and phrases (Chapter 6).The next two chapters explicate the intricacies of sentence constituents that function as clauses (Chapter 7) and aid students in integrating all chapters by discussing sentence analysis at all levels (Chapter 8).The last chapter (Chapter 9) shows how knowledge about sentence constructions can be applied to effective writing in English.English Sentence Constructions can be used in teacher-led modules, but the many exercises in each chapter, the clearly worked out answer keys, and a comprehensive glossary of terminology also make it suitable for self-study.For each chapter, there is an online test in which students can check their understanding. The exercises can be found on the book's companion website: https://doi.org/10.1075/z.240.website

Syntactic Constructions in English
Construction grammar (CxG) is a framework for syntactic analysis that takes constructions - pairings of form and meaning that range from the highly idiomatic to the very general - to be the building blocks of sentence meaning.Offering the first comprehensive introduction to CxG to focus on both English words and the constructions that combine them, this textbook shows students not only what the analyses of particular structures are, but also how and why those analyses are constructed, with each chapter taking the student step-by-step through the reasoning processes that yield the best description of a data set.It offers a wealth of illustrative examples and exercises, largely based on real language data, making it ideal for both self-study and classroom use.Written in an accessible and engaging way, this textbook will open up this increasingly popular linguistic framework to anyone interested in the grammatical patterns of English.

What are constructions?
Constructions are geometric figures that are created using only a straightedge and a compass. These figures are constructed by following a set of precise steps to create shapes such as lines, angles, triangles, and circles. Constructions are used in geometry to demonstrate the relationships between different geometric elements and to solve various mathematical problems. They are an important tool for understanding and proving geometric theorems.
-
Can you explain participial constructions?
Participial constructions are formed by using a present or past participle of a verb to modify a noun or pronoun. They can be used to provide additional information about the subject of a sentence, such as describing an action or state. For example, in the sentence "The girl, running quickly, won the race," the participial construction "running quickly" provides additional information about the girl. Participial constructions can add detail and complexity to a sentence, but it's important to ensure that they are used correctly and do not create confusion or ambiguity.
-
What are other additional constructions?
Other additional constructions in language refer to various grammatical structures and patterns that are used to convey different meanings. These can include passive voice, conditional sentences, relative clauses, and various types of phrasal verbs. These constructions allow for greater flexibility and nuance in expressing ideas and relationships between different elements in a sentence. Mastering these additional constructions can help language learners to become more proficient and expressive in their communication.

What are self-rotating constructions?
Self-rotating constructions are structures or mechanisms that are designed to rotate or move on their own without the need for external power sources. These constructions often utilize principles of physics, such as counterweights or gyroscopic forces, to generate their own motion. Self-rotating constructions can be found in various applications, including toys, kinetic sculptures, and engineering systems where continuous motion is required. They are often designed to be visually captivating and can demonstrate complex mechanical principles in action.

Finding Blindness : International Constructions and Deconstructions
This edited volume explores blindness as a construct with which we the contributors engage as part of our social existence and/or academic research.Irrespective of eye conditions, or the lack thereof, blindness is an understanding at which we have all come to arrive.On the way to this conceptual point, which is in any case unlikely ever to be fixed, we have passed or visited many formative cultural stations. In the terms of autocritical disability studies (i.e. an explicitly embodied development of critical disability studies), these cultural stations include key moments in education and training; the reflective pursuits of philosophy, aesthetics, and cultural theory; literary works such as autobiography, novels, short stories, drama, and poetry; visual texts ranging from photography to postage stamps; technological developments like television, computer applications, and social media; value systems defined by family and/or religion; and the social phenomenon of hate and war.Each chapter in this volume engages with two of these cultural stations; some ostensibly if not profoundly positive or indeed negative and some that contradict each other within and across chapters. This book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, education, and health.

How are triangle constructions carried out?
Triangle constructions are carried out using a compass and straightedge. The compass is used to create circles and arcs, while the straightedge is used to draw straight lines. To construct a triangle, one typically starts by drawing the three sides of the triangle using the compass and straightedge, ensuring that the lengths and angles are accurate. Additional constructions may involve bisecting angles, constructing perpendicular bisectors, or drawing altitudes within the triangle. These constructions help create a triangle with specific properties or dimensions.

How do the English participle constructions work?
English participle constructions involve using the present participle (-ing form) or past participle (-ed form) of a verb to modify a noun or verb in a sentence. The present participle is used to indicate an ongoing action or a simultaneous action, while the past participle is used to indicate a completed action or a state. For example, in the sentence "The running man is fast," "running" is a present participle modifying the noun "man," and in the sentence "She has finished her work," "finished" is a past participle modifying the verb "has." These constructions add detail and specificity to the sentence.
-
How are clause constructions determined in Latin?
Clause constructions in Latin are determined by the word order and the inflectional endings of the words. Latin is an inflected language, meaning that the endings of words change to indicate their grammatical function in a sentence. The word order in Latin is relatively flexible, as the endings of the words provide the necessary information for understanding the relationships between the words. Additionally, Latin uses conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions to connect clauses and show the relationships between them.

What are ND constructions and Ablative absolutes?
ND constructions are a type of Latin construction where a gerund or gerundive is used in the genitive case to show purpose or result. Ablative absolutes, on the other hand, are a type of Latin construction where a noun in the ablative case is paired with a participle to express a circumstance or condition that is separate from the main clause. Both constructions are commonly used in Latin to add complexity and nuance to sentences.
