Project title: The Ukrainian Constructicon
Summary of the project:
The aim of this project is to create the Ukrainian Constructicon (UkrCon), a free open access digital educational resource that offers a collection of Ukrainian multi-word grammatical constructions, i.e. prominent linguistic patterns of phrase and sentence structures that are characteristic of the Ukrainian language.
This project takes the initiative of making the linguistic data on Ukrainian constructions more accessible and visible to the scholarly linguistic community, as well as to learners of Ukrainian as a second language and to the general public. Moreover, the outcome product can serve to develop automatic translation software and educational materials.
