Lexicalization patterns
نویسنده
چکیده
Across languages, clauses containing descriptions of similar events are likely to include the same conceptual components, but these may be distributed differently across the constituents of the clause. Compare, for instance, the English description of a directed motion event in (1a) to its most natural French translation (1b). Both these sentences contain linguistic units expressing the conceptual components of path and manner, but in the French sentence the path of motion is expressed in the verb (revı̂nmes ‘returned’), while in the English sentence it is expressed in a particle (back). In contrast, the reverse holds for the manner of motion: it is expressed in the verb in English (jog) and in a PP in French (au petit trot ‘at a jog’).1

Talmy’s Dichotomous Typology and Japanese Lexicalization Patterns of Motion Events
Talmy‘s (1985) crosslinguistic typology of lexicalization patterns of motion events have been extensively used in second language acquisition (SLA) research as a means to examine how second language (L2) learners map form, meaning, and function. These studies have yielded some conflicting results regarding the learnability of L2 lexicalization patterns arguably the oversimplification over and...
متن کاملCataphoric Lexicalisation
A traditional lexicalization analysis of a word looks backwards in time, describing each change in the word’s form and usage patterns from actuation (creation) to the present day. I suggest that this traditional view of lexicalization can be labelled Anaphoric Lexicalization to reflect its focus upon what has passed. A corresponding forward-looking process can then be envisaged called Cataphori...
متن کاملChanges in encoding of PATH of motion in a first language during acquisition of a second language
Languages vary typologically in their lexicalization of PATH of motion (Talmy 1991). Furthermore, lexicalization patterns are argued to a¤ect syntactic packaging at the level of the clause (e.g., Slobin 1996b) and tend to transfer from a first (L1) to a second language (L2) in second language acquisition (e.g., Cadierno and Ruiz 2006). Crosslinguistic and developmental evidence suggests, then, ...
متن کاملRealText-lex: A Lexicalization Framework for Linked Open Data
Linked Open Data (LOD) is growing rapidly as a source of structured knowledge used in a variety of text processing applications. However, the applications using the LOD need to be able to mediate between the front end user interfaces and LOD. This often requires a natural language interpretation of this structured, linked data. We demonstrate a middle-tier framework that can generate patterns w...

The metaphor weeping is a means of liberating contained emotions is grounded in universal embodied cognition and is reflected in linguistic expressions in English and Spanish.
