Ukrainian Constructicon

Principal investigator: Yuliia Palii

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.
