6 Concluding Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper we described our ongoing work in and thoughts on developing a grammar learning system based on a construction grammar formalism used in a question-answering system. We described necessary modules and presented first results and challenges in formalizing construction grammar. Furthermore, we pointed out our motivation for choosing construction grammar and the, therefore, resulting advantages. Then our approach and ideas of learning new linguistic phenomena, ranging from holophrastic constructions to compositional ones, were presented. What should be kept in mind is that our grammar model has to be strongly adaptable to language phenomena, as e.g.</Paragraph>

    <Paragraph position="2"> Evaluations in the light of the precision/coverage trade-off still present an enormous challenge (as with all adaptive and learning systems). In the future we will examine the feasibility of adapting ontology evaluating frameworks, as e.g. proposed by Porzel and Malaka (2005) for the task of grammar learning. We hope that future evaluations will show that our resulting system and, therefore, its grammar will be robust and adaptable enough to be worth being called 'Grammar Right'.</Paragraph>
