How does Fluid Construction Grammar improve Spanish verb morphology analysis

Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) improves Spanish verb morphology analysis by providing a computational and cognitive grammar framework that handles the complex and systematic nature of Spanish verb conjugation. It operationalizes the entire Spanish verb conjugation system as a set of constructions that work together to build or analyze verb forms. Starting from a seed grammar handling regular morphology and grammar, FCG creates a productive grammar that captures the systematic patterns in Spanish verbs, including temporal, aspectual, and modal variations. It also expands its construction inventory when encountering new verbs, which allows it to accommodate irregularities and variation in verb forms effectively.

Specifically, FCG integrates multiple constructions that contribute to the meaning and form of verbs in Spanish, reflecting how speakers combine different grammatical and morphological categories. This approach contrasts with simpler rules or lookup tables by simulating a dynamic, usage-based construction process. It enhances the accuracy and flexibility of morphological analysis for Spanish verbs, accommodating regular and irregular verb forms and their syntactic and semantic properties. ^{1, 2}
