The Difference Between Construction Grammar and the Generative and Structural Linguistics

In modern construction grammar, there's an emphasis on the fact that this is a conventional pairing of form and function.

The thing that makes construction grammar distinctive is that essentially everything is a pairings of form and meaning.
