Resumen: This book, published within the Benjamins series devoted to Constructional Approaches to Languages, is a collection of eight papers on Construction Grammar(s) and their possible application to contrastive studies, edited by Hans Boas, one of the first researchers to apply this framework to languages other than English (Boas 2003).1 The book, as the editor suggests (15-16), has two main goals: (1) to offer the first steps for a future methodology on how to carry out contrastive analysis within Construction Grammar, and (2) to show that the notion of construction is a useful tool for typological/cross-linguistic research.
