Unlike English or French, Spanish does not have a single verb to translate the Dutch copula<i>worden</i>, but instead displays a whole range of possibilities to express change. In the present study, we will focus on the three Spanish predicates that – in our corpus – are most frequently used to translate the attributive construction with<i>worden</i>, viz. A semi-copula, a lexical verb and a simple copula (<i>ser</i>or<i>estar ‘to be’</i>). <br />Our data will reveal that the selection of an appropriate translation of worden is not random. On the contrary, a different translation category corresponds to a different conceptualization of the process of change. A variety of contextual, formal and semantic factors can help explain the preference for one translation possibility over the other. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.02for 31 71 41 Article 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">An acquisitional approach to disharmonic word-order/affixation pairings</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>An </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">acquisitional approach to disharmonic word-order/affixation pairings</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Michael Fortescue Fortescue, Michael Michael Fortescue University of Copenhagen 2 A01 J.

These proposals have focused either on processing or on diachronic explanations (or a combination of both). In the present paper it is argued that a developmental approach is more comprehensive than either of these. It can explain exceptions from typologically universal tendencies as well as the tendencies themselves in terms of alternative ways of balancing off basic acquisitional principles involved already at the holophrastic stage of development. The long-term stability of certain<i>a priori</i>‘disharmonic’ or unusual combinations of features is emphasised. What is needed to give support to the model is data from the acquisition of languages with rich morphologies. The available data is examined for evidence and a framework is proposed as a guide to future investigations. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.03ozc 73 102 30 Article 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Typological variation in encoding the manner, path, and ground components of a metaphorical motion event</TitleText> 1 A01 Şeyda Özçalışkan Özçalışkan, Şeyda Şeyda Özçalışkan University of Chicago 20 manner of motion 20 metaphorical motion 20 motion events 20 path of motion 20 satellite-framed typology 20 verb-framed typology 01 The paper compares two typologically distinct languages with regard to their lexicalization patterns in encoding metaphorical motion events: (1) verb-framed (V-language, represented by Turkish), in which the preferred pattern for framing motion events is the use of a path verb with an optional manner adjunct (e.g.,<i>enter running</i>), and (2) satellite-framed (S-language, represented by English), in which path is lexicalized in an element associated with the verb, leaving the verb free to encode manner (e.g.,<i>run in</i>). The paper focuses on typological differences in encoding the manner, path, and ground components of metaphorical motion events, using data from novels written originally in English or Turkish, and further extends the applicability of the typological dichotomy to the metaphorical uses of the lexicon. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.04bro 103 126 24 Article 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The cognitive basis of adjectival and adverbial resultative constructions</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">cognitive basis of adjectival and adverbial resultative constructions</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Cristiano Broccias Broccias, Cristiano Cristiano Broccias Università di Genova 20 billiard-ball model 20 property ascription 20 raising construction 20 reference point ability 20 resultative construction 01 In this paper I investigate adjectival resultative constructions, which usually do not occur in Romance languages, and adverbial resultative constructions, which are also possible in Romance languages. I claim that adjectival resultative constructions and adverbial resultative constructions rely on different cognitive processes. In particular, I contend that adjectival resultative constructions involve the activation of Langacker's billiard-ball model. Such an analysis turns out to be more satisfactory than formal ones. On the other hand, adverbial resultative constructions, as well as more generally adverbial depictive constructions, are argued to involve the process of property ascription by the conceptualiser and the reference point ability. Finally, I show that adverbial (resultative) constructions exhibit similarities with so-called raising constructions in that both crucially rely on the reference point ability. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.05pen 127 158 32 Article 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The image-schematic basis of the EVENT STRUCTURE metaphor</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">image-schematic basis of the EVENT STRUCTURE metaphor</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 María Sandra Peña-Cervel Peña-Cervel, María Sandra María Sandra Peña-Cervel UNED (Madrid, Spain) 20 EVENT STRUCTURE metaphor 20 image-schema 20 LOCATION branch 20 OBJECT branch 01 Within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics, the study of metaphor has received great attention mainly because of its conceptual character. This conception is at odds with traditional accounts, in which metaphor was merely a linguistic phenomenon endowed with a decorative function. One of the metaphors which has been the object of a greater amount of research is the EVENT STRUCTURE metaphor. It qualifies as a generic-level metaphor provided with a universal character. One of the main reasons for this is the image-schematic component which lies at the base of many of the expressions belonging to this metaphorical system. Image-schemas have long been postulated to emerge from everyday bodily experience (Johnson 1987; Lakoff 1987). It is thus argued that they are shared by people and cultures all over the world. As a consequence, any conceptual system based on them must be endowed with some universal character. We attempt to examine the image-schematic component which underlies the different specific metaphoric mappings which integrate the EVENT STRUCTURE metaphor both in the LOCATION and OBJECT branches. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.06zie 159 195 37 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Grammaticalisation through constructions</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">The story of causativehavein English</Subtitle> 1 A01 Debra Ziegeler Ziegeler, Debra Debra Ziegeler University of Manchester 20 causativity 20 construction grammar 20 grammaticalisation 20 have-periphrastic causative 01 Recent arguments by Langacker (2003) on the nature of verb meanings in constructions claim that such meanings are created by entrenchment and frequency of use, and only with repeated use can they become conventionalised and acceptable. Such a position raises the need for a diachronic perspective on Construction Grammar. The present paper investigates the evolution of constructions through the example of the<i>have</i>-causative in English, which appears to have had its origins as a transfer verb in telic argument structure constructions. When the construction contains a transfer verb, construction meaning reinforces verb meaning and periphrastic causatives may grammaticalise as output; this is a gradual development over time. In one way, then, the verb<i>have</i>grammaticalises across a succession of constructions, but in another, the telic argument structure construction itself is seen to have a progressive diachronic development. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.07gly 197 233 37 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Constructions at the crossroads</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">The place of construction grammar between field and frame</Subtitle> 1 A01 Dylan Glynn Glynn, Dylan Dylan Glynn Institut Charles V, Université Paris 7 20 conceptual metaphor 20 construction grammar 20 frame semantics 20 lexical field 20 verbs of ‘stealing’ 01 Construction Grammar focuses on the meaning encoded in the syntagmatic structures of language. However, syntagmatic meaning and coding interact in a complex way with paradigmatic structures such as lexis, metonymy, and metaphor. How can Construction Grammar capture the formal and semantic structure of entrenched schematic constructions while rigorously accounting for all these parameters? Based on the analysis of the conceptual domain of ‘stealing’ in English, this study demonstrates that through combining three different approaches to linguistic structure, the study of the semantic frame, the cognitive model, and the onomasiological lexical field, we can more properly appreciate and explain lexical, metaphoric, and constructional interplay. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.08ost 235 259 25 Article 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">From relational schemas to subject-specific semantic relations</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A two-step classification of compound terms</Subtitle> 1 A01 Ulrike Oster Oster, Ulrike Ulrike Oster Universitat Jaume I 20 compounds 20 schemas 20 semantic relations 20 term formation 01 Compounding is a major word-formation procedure in many languages, and even more so in specialised terminology. The classification of these compound words is a very complex issue due to the large number of semantic relations that can hold between the constituents of the compound. Typologies for different special languages differ considerably from each other and usually combine rather general with highly subject-specific relations. This paper presents a proposal for a two-step classification of these intraterm relations. First, a set of basic relational schemas is worked out, whose purpose is to serve as a tool for the interpretation of semantic relations. These schemas, which are potentially applicable to any domain, are then used to classify the actual compound terms that appear in a corpus of texts from a specific technical field. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.09shi 261 283 23 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Spatial cognition and linguistic expression</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Empirical research on frames of reference in Japanese</Subtitle> 1 A01 Kazuko Shinohara Shinohara, Kazuko Kazuko Shinohara Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology 2 A01 Yoshihiro Matsunaka Matsunaka, Yoshihiro Yoshihiro Matsunaka Tokyo Polytechnic University 20 coordinate system 20 figure 20 frame of reference 20 orientation 20 spatial relation 01 This paper analyzes frames of reference involved in linguistic expression of spatial relations of objects, using an experimental method. Objects with and without intrinsic orientation are used as the figure object, and it is demonstrated that there exists in Japanese a phenomenon we call ‘figure-aligned mapping’, where the coordinate system on the figure object is projected onto the ground object. This is what previous studies have not reported or argued. We claim that this figure-aligned mapping belongs to the intrinsic frame of reference among the three (intrinsic, relative, and absolute) frames of reference proposed by Levinson, and some revision of his definition of the intrinsic frame is proposed so that figure-aligned mapping can be accommodated in it. The result of this study confirms the importance of the notion of coordinate system in the discussion of frames of reference. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.10gry 285 304 20 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Semantic change as a process of conceptual blending</TitleText> 1 A01 Marcin Grygiel Grygiel, Marcin Marcin Grygiel University of Rzeszow 20 conceptual blending 20 conceptual integration network 20 on-line meaning construction 20 semantic change 20 semantic structure 01 The purpose of the paper is to present a new approach to semantic change where meaning alteration is perceived as a by-product of conceptual blending processes and diachronic structures are argued to possess the same characteristics as their synchronic counterparts. Thus, traditionally considered a subject of historical linguistics studies<i>par</i>excellence – semantic change – can be understood as conventionalisation of context-dependent modification of usage. The paper examines selected cases of changes in meaning pertaining to the semantic domain BOY and seeks the basis for their explanation in the blending operations of meaning construction. From this perspective, semantic change appears as a natural consequence of language usage directly related to cognitive processing. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.11mal 305 319 15 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Ronald Langacker</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A visit to Cognitive Grammar</Subtitle> 1 A01 Ricardo Maldonado Maldonado, Ricardo Ricardo Maldonado 10 01 JB code arcl.2.12tay 321 348 28 Review article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Why Construction Grammar is radical</TitleText> 1 A01 John R. Taylor Taylor, John R. John R. Taylor University of Otago 20 compositionality 20 constructional idioms 20 Radical Construction Grammar 01 This article reviews some of the foundational assumptions of Croft's<i>Radical Construction Grammar</i>. While constructions have featured prominently in much recent work in cognitive linguistics, Croft adopts the ‘radical’ view that constructions are the primary objects of linguistic analysis, with lexical and syntactic categories being defined with respect to the constructions in which they occur. This approach reverses the traditional view, according to which complex expressions are compositionally assembled through syntactic rules operating over items selected from the lexicon. The ubiquity of idioms, especially so-called constructional idioms, provides compelling evidence for the essential correctness of the radical constructional view. The possibility of a radical constructional approach to phonology is also discussed. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.13ner 349 354 6 Review 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Review of Santangelo (2003): Sentimental education in Chinese history.

The result of this study confirms the importance of the notion of coordinate system in the discussion of frames of reference. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.10gry 285 304 20 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Semantic change as a process of conceptual blending</TitleText> 1 A01 Marcin Grygiel Grygiel, Marcin Marcin Grygiel University of Rzeszow 20 conceptual blending 20 conceptual integration network 20 on-line meaning construction 20 semantic change 20 semantic structure 01 The purpose of the paper is to present a new approach to semantic change where meaning alteration is perceived as a by-product of conceptual blending processes and diachronic structures are argued to possess the same characteristics as their synchronic counterparts. Thus, traditionally considered a subject of historical linguistics studies<i>par</i>excellence – semantic change – can be understood as conventionalisation of context-dependent modification of usage. The paper examines selected cases of changes in meaning pertaining to the semantic domain BOY and seeks the basis for their explanation in the blending operations of meaning construction. From this perspective, semantic change appears as a natural consequence of language usage directly related to cognitive processing. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.11mal 305 319 15 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Ronald Langacker</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A visit to Cognitive Grammar</Subtitle> 1 A01 Ricardo Maldonado Maldonado, Ricardo Ricardo Maldonado 10 01 JB code arcl.2.12tay 321 348 28 Review article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Why Construction Grammar is radical</TitleText> 1 A01 John R. Taylor Taylor, John R. John R. Taylor University of Otago 20 compositionality 20 constructional idioms 20 Radical Construction Grammar 01 This article reviews some of the foundational assumptions of Croft's<i>Radical Construction Grammar</i>. While constructions have featured prominently in much recent work in cognitive linguistics, Croft adopts the ‘radical’ view that constructions are the primary objects of linguistic analysis, with lexical and syntactic categories being defined with respect to the constructions in which they occur. This approach reverses the traditional view, according to which complex expressions are compositionally assembled through syntactic rules operating over items selected from the lexicon. The ubiquity of idioms, especially so-called constructional idioms, provides compelling evidence for the essential correctness of the radical constructional view. The possibility of a radical constructional approach to phonology is also discussed. 10 01 JB code arcl.2.13ner 349 354 6 Review 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Review of Santangelo (2003): Sentimental education in Chinese history.
