Construction Grammar, as exemplified in the work of Adele Goldberg and others, is an attempt to reduce grammar to an associative relation between form and meaning, in contrast to the traditional mapping relation where syntax performs the mapping function. A central claim of Construction Grammar is that what are normally taken to be syntactic structures are constructions that have meanings, and thus can be treated on a par with words and idioms. This paper examines two constructions presented by Goldberg as parade cases of constructions -- the ditransitive construction and the caused-motion construction -- and shows how Goldberg's analysis fails across the board.
