However, traditional grammar teaching lays much emphasis on the explanation and acquisition of grammar rules, neglecting the function of grammatical forms on the expression of semantic meanings and the connection between forms and senses.Construction Grammar(CG) is a hot point in language and language teaching in recent years. It stresses the pairing of form and function and sense, and pays attention to viewpoint of constructional acquisition in terms of construction. We deepen the understanding of grammatical attributes based on these ideas, which open a new area for English grammar teaching. The author is to explore teaching contents and methods of English grammar based on CG. Thus, it will provide a new perspective for English grammar teaching.展开更多
