Abstract: This paper focuses on conventionalized requests such as Can you X?, which are here \nconsidered to be constructions or entrenched parings of form and function. We first offer a \nconcise account of how such illocutionary constructions have been approached from the point \nof view of Construction Grammar, to then provide the reader with their computational \ntreatment within the knowledge base for Natural Language Processing systems known as \nFunGramKB. In so doing, four constructional domains are formalized in the COREL \nmetalanguage. The overall aim of this paper is to contribute further evidence that the \nconstruction-based approach, which lies at the basis of the FunGramKB Grammaticon, is \nrelevant for the investigation of language processing
