Constructions, frames, mental maps. Sketch of a method for the representation and transmission of knowledge in foreign language courses

In the last three decades the linguistic innovation has brought two main theoretical tools that are fully functional: the construction grammar and the frame semantics. The present work makes a proposal to unite both frameworks in order to exploit their respective contribution in a pedagogical perspective in foreign language classes. The aim is (i) to operationalize the theoretical junction, and (ii) to propose to exploit it by using mind maps, which elaboration is based on the observation of the speech praxis.
