    Exposure and emergence in usage-based grammar: computational experiments in 35 languages.Jonathan Dunn - 2022 - Cognitive Linguistics 33 (4):659-699.
    This paper uses computational experiments to explore the role of exposure in the emergence of construction grammars. While usage-based grammars are hypothesized to depend on a learner’s exposure to actual language use, the mechanisms of such exposure have only been studied in a few constructions in isolation. This paper experiments with (i) the growth rate of the constructicon, (ii) the convergence rate of grammars exposed to independent registers, and (iii) the rate at which constructions are forgotten when they have not (...)

    Modeling Abstractness and Metaphoricity.Jonathan Dunn - 2015 - Metaphor and Symbol 30 (4):259-289.
    This paper presents and evaluates a model of how the abstractness of source and target concepts influences metaphoricity, the property of how metaphoric a linguistic metaphoric expression is. The purpose of this is to investigate the long-standing claim that metaphoric mappings are from less abstract concepts to more abstract concepts. First, abstractness is modeled using Searle’s social ontology and this model of abstractness evaluated using a participant-based measure of abstractness. Second, this model of abstractness is used to determine the direction (...)

    Three Types of Metaphoric Utterances That Can Synthesize Theories of Metaphor.Jonathan Dunn - 2015 - Metaphor and Symbol 30 (1):1-23.
    This article argues that there are three types of metaphoric utterances that can be defined by the contextual stability of the utterance’s interpretation and the presence or absence of a conceptual source–target mapping. Evidence for these three types of metaphoric utterances comes from introspective evidence about metaphor-in-language, from a survey-based study of metaphoricity, from a computational model of metaphoricity, and from a meta-study of the examples used in published metaphor research. These three types of metaphoric utterances are used to narrow (...)

    Finding variants for construction-based dialectometry: A corpus-based approach to regional CxGs.Jonathan Dunn - 2018 - Cognitive Linguistics 29 (2):275-311.
    This paper develops a construction-based dialectometry capable of identifying previously unknown constructions and measuring the degree to which a given construction is subject to regional variation. The central idea is to learn a grammar of constructions using construction grammar induction and then to use these constructions as features for dialectometry. This offers a method for measuring the aggregate similarity between regional CxGs without limiting in advance the set of constructions subject to variation. The learned CxG is evaluated on how well (...)

    Multiple Faiths in Postcolonial Cities: Living Together After Empire.Jonathan Dunn, Heleen Joziasse, Raj Bharat Patta & Joseph Duggan (eds.) - 2019 - Springer Verlag.
    This book addresses the challenges of living together after empire in many post-colonial cities. It is organized in two sections. The first section focuses on efforts by people of multiple faiths to live together within their contexts, including such efforts within a neighborhood in urban Manchester; the array of attempts at creating multi-faith spaces for worship across the globe; and initiatives to commemorate divisive conflict together in Northern Ireland. The second section utilizes particular postcolonial methods to illuminate pressing issues within (...)
