The book ultimately has much to offer to both target audiences: for students, it provides a good entry point both to syntactic analysis and to constructionist approaches to language; for Construction Grammarians, especially those interested in constructicography, it offers interesting theoretical, methodological and terminological considerations. Despite the small criticisms mentioned above, we remain positive that the CASA book provides a worthwhile and welcome addition to the constructionist literature, especially in conjunction with the CASA website and the broader constructicographic enterprise pursued by the authors, all while situating itself in a didactic niche that has been previously unoccupied.
