Description
In this paper, we argue that it is beneficial for a constructicon to have a query interface where the user can enter arbitrary text. To allow this, we present a dependency-tree-based model for representing constructions, and show that this model can serve as a basis for working out a user-friendly query interface which analyses the free-text user query and matches the constructicon entries to it, revealing all constructions from the query text for the user, without expecting any knowledge of construction grammar.
