catalaLa Gramatica de Construccions suposa un canvi profund en la manera d’entendre el fenomen de la idiomaticitat a partir d’un dels pilars fonamentals de les aproximacions construccionistes, la nocio de «construccio gramatical». En tant que emparellaments de forma i significat, dita nocio permet entendre el llenguatge com un continuum d’idiomaticitat. L’objectiu del present treball es donar compte de l’us creatiu de la construccio comparativa [ADJ com Y] que s’utilitza en La placa del Diamant, tot seguint una aproximacio construccionista. A partir de la nova concepcio integradora de forma i significat de les expressions idiomatiques s’analitza una mostra de les construccions comparatives de l’autora barcelonina, tot emprant corpus i diccionaris fraseologics com eina de suport per donar una imatge detallada de l’us que en fan els parlants. Aixi doncs, l’estudi subratlla la fina linia que existeix entre allo usual i allo que esta lexicalitzat i l’us creatiu de la construccio comparativa idiomatica intensificadora, linia que es correspondria al continuum dinamic lexico-gramatical. L’analisi detallada de les diferents construccions evidencia que es tracta d’una construccio forca productiva, creativitat que te cabuda dins de la nocio de fixacio cognitiva, la qual permet donar compte de la desautomatitzacio de les unitats fraseologiques, aixi com la creacio de noves. EnglishConstruction Grammar has brought about a significant change in the understanding of the phenomenon of idiomaticity by means of one of the major tenets of constructionist approaches, the notion of "grammatical construction". As form-meaning pairings, such a notion allows the language to be understood as a continuum of idiomaticity. This study aims to apply the basic notions of Construction Grammar to explain the creative use of the comparative construction [ADJ com Y] used in the novel La placa del Diamant. From the unifying approach of form and meaning of idiomatic expressions a sample of comparative constructions used by the Catalan writer is analysed by means of a corpus and phraseological dictionaries as tools which help us give a detailed panorama of speakers' use of language. This study hence highlights the fine line between what is common and what is lexicalized, and the creative use of the idiomatic intensifying comparative construction. This line would correspond to the dynamic lexicon-grammar continuum. A detailed analysis of many constructions demonstrates that it is a highly productive construction, and such creativity is perfectly suited to the notion of entrenchment, which explains the modifications of phraseological units, as well as the creation of new ones.

El objetivo principal de este trabajo consiste en describir por medio de corpus, con una metodología inductiva, la construcción comparativa intensificadora [ser más tonto que X]: ‘ser tonto en grado sumo’, para lo que se tomará como marco teórico la Gramática de Construcciones. En este sentido se realizará un estudio cuantitativo y cualitativo de las actualizaciones léxicas del slot X con el fin de determinar la fijación cognitiva y la productividad de la construcción, así como descubrir posibles rasgos recurrentes en su creatividad. Con esta investigación intentamos demostrar cuán fina es la línea que separa las unidades lexicalizadas de las creativas, con un predominio claro de estas últimas. Adopting a corpus-based approach, the main aim of this study is to inductively describe the intensifying comparative construction [ser más tonto que X]: ‘be foolish in its highest degree’. Therefore, it will be applied the Construction Grammar approach. In this sense, lexical fillers of the slot X will be quantitatively and qualitatively analysed in order to determine the entrenchment and productivity of the construction, as well as to find out potential recurrent traits of its creativity. This study aims to show the fine line between lexicalised and creative units, , the latter being the most predominant.

Cet article a pour but de faire une étude contrastive et traductologique des comparaisons stéréotypées en utilisant l’approche constructionnelle. Dans cette étude, notre intention est d’utiliser une approche linguistique, utilisant les principes de la grammaire de construction comme fondement théorique, pour mener à bien une analyse descriptive de la traduction des comparaisons stéréotypées. Nous pourrons ainsi observer quelles sont les implications du choix d’une construction particulière entre les différentes traductions sur le plan formel, sémantique, pragmatique et culturel. This paper presents a contrastive and translational analysis of stereotyped comparisons using a constructionist approach. To that end, our main aim is to use a linguistic approach, by taking into consideration the constructionist tenets as theoretical framework, in order to descriptively analyse the translation of stereotyped comparisons. With this study, we will be able to see what entails choosing a specific construction from a formal, semantic, pragmatic and cultural point of view.
