Definition
the set of words defined by their occurrence in a particular role in a construction. Example: in the English Predicate Adjective Construction [Sbj be PredAdj], illustrated by She is intelligent, the PredAdj role defines a word class consisting of all the words that can occur in that role in that construction (happy, tall, asleep, etc.). Word classes are defined by a set of constructions that the words occur in (a.k.a. distribution, behavior, properties). (Section 1.2.1)
