This study presents a notation for describing both syntactic and semantic structure simultaneously, and for making explicit the connections between the two. The framework is essentially a combination of two well-established linguistic frameworks: Cognitive Grammar and Construction Grammar. This study makes the claim that these two theories are virtually in complementary distribution as far as their descriptive potential is concerned; theoretical evidence justifying this claim is discussed towards the end of the chapter. Due to the complementary relationship between the theories, combining them results in a framework which is able to handle much more information than either one of its two component theories. This can, in principle, be done in a number of ways. In the present case, descriptions based on the two theories are combined at the level of individual morphemes and sememes, as this is the level at which form and meaning meet. As a test of the descriptive potential of the notation, the study presents a brief diachronic analysis of the Finnish permissive construction.
