Departing from a qualitative linguistic analysis based on corpus-attested examples, this paper provides a computational treatment of several construction-types, namely, argument-structure constructions, implicational constructions, and illocutionary constructions. Thus, our aim is to offer a formalized representation of constructions of varied nature and complexity. We do so through a lexico-conceptual knowledge base for natural language processing systems called FunGramKB, whose grammaticon is a computational implementation of the architecture of a usage-based constructionist model of language known as the Lexical Constructional Model.
