Russian Learner’s Constructicon
We present the Russian Constructicon, which is a free and publicly available resource for learners of Russian that is also of use for instructors and for linguists. The Russian Constructicon contains over 1000 grammatical constructions (multiword expressions that are not transparent to L2 learners, such as возьми и VP in он возьми и купи себе новую машину ‘geez, he went and bought himself a new car’) with explanations and illustrative examples, and is arguably the largest openly available constructicon resource for any language.
