    abstract = "We present a Bayesian model for the representation, acquisition, and
                use of argument structure constructions, which is founded on a novel
                view of constructions as a mapping of a syntactic form to a
                probability distribution over semantic features.  Our computational
                experiments demonstrate the feasibility of learning general
                constructions from individual examples of verb usage, and show that
                the acquired knowledge generalizes to novel or low-frequency
                situations in language use.",
