Template Construction Grammar: a Schema-Theoretic Computational Construction Grammar

Template Construction Grammar (TCG) was developed as part of an effort to build a system-level neuro-computational model simulating the dynamics at play during languagevision interactions. This paper presents TCG as a computational framework designed to model the human brain’s capacity to dynamically coordinate two concurrent incremental processes, one generating a message and the other organizing its mapping onto a linguistic form. It highlights how Schema Theory provides guidelines to implement cognitivelevel hybrid computational models that operate in the style of
