The integrated study of "lexicon and constructicon" has explored the interplay between the lexicon and grammatical constructions, examining a set of lexical items and the grammatical constructions in which these lexical items participate. The term "constructicon (Fillmore et al. 2012) refers to a language's inventory of constructions (analogous to lexicon).To this end, drawing on various corpus data as well as considering theoretical issues, representative empirical analyses have been carried out, including (1) verbs of separation in English (cut, break, etc.) and Japanese (kowasu, kiru, waru, oru, etc.), and the frames that there lexical items evoke and argument structure constructions featuring these lexemes (Fujii et al. 2013a, 2013b); (2) grammatical constructions and the lexicon involved in conditionals (Fujii 2013a, 2013b); and (3) various types of TO quotative constructions in Japanese and the lexemes that evoke the constructions (Fujii 2010, 2011, 2012, in press 2014, etc.).
