Abstract
Construction Grammar has been shown to make valuable contributions to teaching. The resulting framework, referred to as Pedagogical Construction Grammar (PCxG), is presented in this chapter, starting with its origin and main principles. Different pedagogical methods used in PCxG are discussed, including network-based instruction, structural priming and data-driven learning. Some of the few pedagogical resources developed for PCxG are described, such as the German Frame-Semantic Online Lexicon and the Construction Grammar of the English Language. The chapter ends with some limitations of PCxG as well as recommendations to further enhance the framework.
