In constructionist theory, a constructicon is an 
inventory of constructions making up the full set of linguistic units in
 a language. In applied practice, it is a set of construction 
descriptions – a “dictionary of constructions”. The development of 
constructicons in the latter sense typically means combining principles 
of both construction grammar and lexicography, and is probably best 
characterized as a blend between the two traditions. We call this blend 
constructicography.
 The present volume is a comprehensive introduction to the
 emerging field of constructicography. After a general introduction 
follow six chapters presenting constructicon projects for English, 
German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish, 
respectively, often in relation to a framenet of the language. In 
addition, there is a chapter addressing the interplay between 
linguistics and language technology in constructicon development, and a 
final chapter exploring the prospects for interlingual 
constructicography.
 This is the first major publication devoted to 
constructicon development and it should be particularly relevant for 
those interested in construction grammar, frame semantics, lexicography,
 the relation between grammar and lexicon, or linguistically informed 
language technology.
