Summary/Abstract: One of the distinguishing features of the Lexical Constructional Model is its emphasis on the cognitive constraints on subsumption, i.e. the integration of lexical or constructional structure from one descriptive level into the next higher level. Here we explore constructional amalgams, which result from level-internal integration processes, and studies how constructional amalgams constrain subsumption processes.
