Scene encoding hypothesis
In construction grammar (2) the hypothesis that the prototype for a particular instance of constructional polysemy relates to a recurring scene from everyday experience which is encoded by the construction (1). For instance, while the ditransitive construction exhibits polysemy, according to Adele Goldberg, successful transfer, as in the following: Max gave Bella the biscuit, represents the central or prototypical sense of the ditransitive construction. This follows as this instance of the construction encodes a recurring experiential scene in which an agent causes a recipient to receive some object by way of transfer.
