Linguistic and non-linguistic investigation of motion events
نویسندگان
چکیده
The verb-framed vs. satellite-framed language dichotomy (Talmy, 1985) is the most common framework used in the crosslinguistic investigation of motion event expressions. According to the classification, French is a verb-framed language, it integrates the path of motion into the main verb and uses a separate component to express the manner of motion. On the other hand, English, a satellite-framed language, gives the manner information in the main verb and expresses the path of motion with a separate component. The present study uses this dichotomy to see whether the motion event expressions patterns of these two typologically different languages (French and English) are also reflected in their motion event categorisations or not.

متن کاملMotion events in language and cognition.
This study investigated whether different lexicalization patterns of motion events in English and Spanish predict how speakers of these languages perform in non-linguistic tasks. Using 36 motion events, we compared English and Spanish speakers' linguistic descriptions to their performance on two non-linguistic tasks: recognition memory and similarity judgments. We investigated the effect of lan...
متن کاملLanguage and Memory for Motion Events: Origins of the Asymmetry Between Source and Goal Paths
When people describe motion events, their path expressions are biased toward inclusion of goal paths (e.g., into the house) and omission of source paths (e.g., out of the house). In this paper, we explored whether this asymmetry has its origins in people's non-linguistic representations of events. In three experiments, 4-year-old children and adults described or remembered manner of motion even...
