It strikes me that I missed an opportunity to say the following on the
strand ('constructions?') started by And last year:
An important consequence of (or precondition for) saying that WG 'has
constructions' is that its lexicon and grammar are not separated. The
only difference between a word and a word class is generality. Similarly
for the statement that RELY takes the complement ON and the statement
that verbs can take noun subjects.
Any views?
