“…is represented by sets of constraints; each set pertains to a particular level of linguistic representation (phonology, syntax, and semantics) for that construction, or to the interfaces 1340 BAGGIO AND HAGOORT between such levels (Culicover & Jackendoff, 2005;Jackendoff, 2002Jackendoff, 2007; each constraint in a set contributes to specifying how a given construction can combine with other constructions at a particular level of linguistic representation, or how it can be filled with denoting expressions.
