Interview.Abstract
Paul Kay was one of the founders of the Construction Grammar. Together with the late Charles Fillmore, Paul Kay was responsible for shaping distinguishing aspects of constructionist approaches to grammar. In this interview, this history is revisited, and key aspects of linguistic theory - such as generativism and formalism - are discussed. The Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at the University of California also discusses the turn of Berkeley Construction Grammar towards Sign-Based Construction Grammar. Paul Kay's answers to the following questions couldn't be more in tune with the theory he helped create: beyond simplistic distinctions, he sheds light on both the more general features of Construction Grammar and on the equally relevant peripheral anecdotes that paved the way for the development of the field in the last three decades.
