Abstract “Innovative uses” in language, an important trigger for grammaticalization, is best seen in the vogue expressions of a language. The expressions could serve as a window to look for the pathways of change in the uses or grammaticalization. This change is generally taken to form a continuum (or a cline) with lexicalization, yet constructionalization, their recent relations, is still to define their relations. This paper is an attempt at an elucidation of the relations by examining the vogue expressions of “(chelizi) ziyou” ([cherry] freedom), “fanersai (wenxue)” (Versailles [literature]) from Chinese, “(Kabe) don” ([壁]ドン) from Japanese. It finds that constructionalization completely overlaps the process of lexicalization. The former makes salient the schematic aspect, the latter the structural. Grammaticalization occurs after the two changes. This finding offers a supplement to the argument posed by Brinton & Traugott which argues that “both lexicalization and grammaticalization are gradual processes” while the lexicalization of vogue expressions is usually abrupt.
