Verb
construe (third-person singular simple present construes, present participle construing, simple past and past participle construed)
- (transitive) To interpret or explain the meaning of something.
- (grammar, transitive) To analyze the grammatical structure of a clause or sentence; to parse.
- Thus, in a sentence such as:
(113) John considers [S Fred to be too sure of himself]
the italicised Reflexive himself can only be construed with Fred, not with John: this follows from our assumption that non-subject Reflexives must have an antecedent within their own S. Notice, however, that in a sentence such as:
(114) John seems to me [S — to have perjured himself]
himself must be construed with John.
- Thus, in a sentence such as:
- (grammar, ergative) To admit of grammatical analysis.
- (transitive) To translate.
- To infer.
