The last decade has seen a rise in popularity in construction-based approaches to grammar.
The various approaches within the rubric 'construction grammar' all see language as a network of constructions-pairings of form and meaning.
Construction Grammar, as a kind of cognitive linguistics, differs significantly from mainstream generative grammar as espoused by Chomsky and his followers.
Advocates of Construction Grammar see it as a psychologically plausible theory of human language.
As such, it is capable of providing a principled account of language acquisition, language variation and language change.
Research in Construction Grammar also includes multidisciplinary cognitive studies in psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and computational linguistics.
