This chapter offers an introduction to the topic and to the individual contributions of the present volume. First, it presents an evaluation of the general potential of combining (usage-based and cognitively oriented) Construction Grammar with Hispanic (and Romance) linguistics. Further, it aims at highlighting the innovative perspective of Construction Grammar(s) in comparison to more traditional approaches for the linguistic phenomena covered in this volume. The chapter concludes with a brief overview of the structure of the book as well as of the individual contributions.

Constructional Approaches to Language

Based on the investigation of the joint production of lists in spoken Spanish, this contribution advocates for a stronger theoretical consideration of sequential and embodied aspects as part of constructional knowledge in CxG. By analyzing video recorded conversations, we examine how interlocutors co-construct lists in real-time. Lists conventionally consist of a three-component sequence – onset, enumeration (body), and coda. Our data shows that interactants orient to these components beyond morphosyntactic features and deploy shared knowledge of semanto-syntactic, sequential, turn-constructional, prosodic, and bodily features. By closely monitoring and coordination each other’s situated multimodal resources, interactants recognize emergent action spaces that allow them to co-construct lists smoothly at different sequential positions and thereby accomplish a variety of social actions. We conclude that the highly emergent yet robust character of co-constructed lists provides a powerful example for how interactional creativity leads to constructional flexibility, yet warrants pattern stability at the same time.

Drawing on findings from three distinct corpora encompassing interactions in Spanish, Portuguese, and German, this study investigates the role of lists as strategic devices employed by interlocutors in everyday storytellings and positioning activities to establish common ground (CG). Termed ‘grounding lists’, our research identifies them as a distinct communicative practice for dynamically co-building CG. We found three domains to be most relevant in our data: (a) Personal CG emerging from biographically shared experiences, (b) Communal CG emerging from shared cultural knowledge, and (c) Communal CG emerging from shared everyday knowledge. Our findings reveal the primary characteristics of grounding lists being stylized prosody, reduced itemization, general extenders, lexical elements or quotatives in the onset projecting generalizability, early affiliation, reported speech, as well as gestural depiction. Through empirical analysis, we demonstrate the extent to which each type of CG aligns with these identified features of grounding lists and highlight that it is particularly the dominant use of the list as an abstract gestalt, less as a sedimented practice in itself, that defines grounding lists. This kind of list is strongly marked by its gestalt projection, enabling intersubjectivity and co-building of CG through animated speech and gestural enactment.
