Hilpert's book delivers on its promise to be an introduction to CxG and its application to various linguistic subdisciplines... At the end of each chapter there are a number of study questions, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. In addition, a series of video lectures accompanies the book. An accessible textbook with a few more technical chapters, such as the one of information packaging, it will make a great introductory text for undergraduate students interested in Construction Grammar and its application to English.--Lieselotte brems, University of Liege An accessible introduction to the principles of CxG. --The Year's Work in English Studies
