Editing Construction grammar (section)

=== Syntax–lexicon continuum ===
Unlike the componential model, construction grammar denies any strict distinction between the two and proposes a ''syntax–lexicon continuum''.<ref name="Dufter2017">Dufter, Andreas, and Stark, Elisabeth (eds., 2017) ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=_VBKDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT29 Manual of Romance Morphosyntax and Syntax]'', Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG</ref> The argument goes that words and complex constructions are both pairs of form and meaning and differ only in internal symbolic complexity. Instead of being discrete modules and thus subject to very different processes they form the extremes of a continuum (from regular to idiosyncratic): syntax > [[Subcategorization|subcategorization frame]] > idiom > [[morphology (linguistics)|morphology]] >  [[syntactic category]] > word/[[lexicon]] (these are the traditional terms; construction grammars use a different terminology).
