Fictive motion as cognitive simulation.
Sentences such as The road runs through the valley and The mountain range goes from Canada to Mexico include a motion verb but express no explicit motion or state change. It is argued that these sentences involve fictive motion, an implicit type of motion. But do people trying to understand these sentences mentally simulate motion? This question was addressed in four experiments. In each, parti...
متن کاملDepicting Fictive Motion in Drawings
Motion verbs are pervasive. Found in all languages and all levels of discourse (Miller 1972; Miller & Johnson-Laird, 1976), they are highly polysemous, affording a range of interpretations and occurring in a wide variety of grammatical constructions. When interpreted literally, motion verbs express movement along a trajectory, as in Bob goes down the walkway and The stray cat runs across the al...
متن کاملThe Conceptual Motivation of Fictive Motion
Beginning with Talmy’s work in the late 1970’s and early1980’s, cognitive linguists have argued that fictive motion—roughly, mentally simulated motion along a path or linear configuration—motivates the use and structure of a class of figurative uses of motion verbs. On this view, a motion verb describes an inherently static scene, as in The road runs along the coast or A trail goes through the ...
متن کاملDo eye movements go with fictive motion?
Cognitive scientists interested in the link between language and visual experience have shown that linguistic input influences eye movements. Research in this area, however, tends to focus on literal language alone. In the current study, we investigate whether figurative language influences eye movements. In our experiment, participants viewed two-dimensional depictions of static spatial scenes...

Presentation of an argument can take many different forms ranging from a monologue to advanced graphics and diagrams. This paper investigates the presentation of one or more arguments in the form of a fictive dialogue. This technique was already employed by Plato, who used fictive conversations between Socrates and his contemporaries to put his arguments forward. Ever since, there have been inf...
