: '''The 'Case' for Case (Fillmore, 1968)''' → The first step away from "Abstract Syntax" towards "Meaningful Roles" (Agent, Patient, Instrument).
: '''Idioms and the Lexicon''' → CxG solved the "Idiom Problem." If "Kick the bucket" is in the "Same List" as "Dog," then it doesn't need "Special Rules." It's just a "Complex Word."
: '''Berkeley Construction Grammar''' → The academic "Home" of CxG, where the link between "Cognitive Linguistics" and "Software Engineering" (FrameNet) was born.
: '''FrameNet''' → A massive "Database" of human "Frames" and "Constructions," used by AIs to "Understand" the "World-Context" of a sentence.
