Hungarian is one of the languages in which Path is expressed in satellites and other “head-external elements” (Matsumoto 2017) (i.e. elements outside the main verb root). However, this does not apply to Deixis, although it is often regarded as a component of Path (Talmy 2000). Deixis in Hungarian is expressed in interesting ways, differently from Talmy’s non-deictic Path notions (e.g. UP, INTO). It can be expressed in the main verb root, where Manner can also be expressed, or outside the main verb root, where Path can be expressed. In addition, different deictic elements can co-occur, and a (seemingly) identical notion can be specified in more than one slot in the same clause. The present chapter discusses the kinds of constraints that are placed on the use of each type of deictic expression, and investigates the circumstances under which expressions are chosen for use in descriptions of self-motion, caused motion, and the fictive motion of vision. 10 01 JB code hcp.69.03mee 63 104 42 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 3.

It expands the framework that I developed for analyzing motion events in a narrow sense (Meex 2004) to motion events from a broader perspective including deictic, causative, and fictive motion. The chapter aims to deepen our understanding of how the conceptual components at the core of German motion event descriptions, viz. motion, direction, source-path-goal, manner, and cause, correlate and interact with the conceptual categories of deixis, aspect, and case. The analysis reveals seven path coding types, viz. source, intended goal, path of incomplete traversal, path of complete traversal, boundary traversing path, achieved goal, and trajective, depending on the aspectual framing (i.e. summativity, plexity, boundedness, mutativity) of the motion event. Systematic patterns of co-occurrence of these aspectual elements in the motion scene are described and their combination with specific lexical (e.g. deictic expressions) and morphosyntactic (e.g. inflectional case marking on the noun) categories are examined to support the analysis. It will also be shown that apart from a few exceptions, self-motion, caused motion, and fictive motion are compatible with all seven path coding types discussed, showing that German uses event-type neutral path expressions. 10 01 JB code hcp.69.04tak 105 140 36 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 4.

Our two speech elicitation experiments revealed that English speakers are clearly more manner salient than Japanese in the use of the “default” general manner expression (i.e. <i>walk</i>) in describing human walking motion. On the other hand, Japanese speakers use mimetic adverbs which significantly contribute to the expressive power of manner expressions, especially in describing the sounds that moving entities make. These results indicate that manner salience is a complex phenomenon that involves multiple parameters in the form and meaning of manner expressions, rather than a mere epiphenomenon of the typology based on path coding positions. 10 01 JB code hcp.69.06mor 181 204 24 Chapter 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 6.

In Talmy’s typology on Satellite- vs. Verb-framed languages, French is characterized as using the construction type of verb-framed languages for motion events, and according to his principles on the correlation between the fore- and backgroundedness of semantic components of motion and the cognitive cost of expressing them, manner and other concepts are expected to occur less frequently in foregrounded positions outside of the main verb than in backgrounded position in the main verb. This chapter shows, through an experimental method, that facts in French are more complex, and that the attraction of attention in perceived motion events has an impact on the choice of construction types and motivates manner and deixis to be expressed more frequently in optional syntactic elements under certain circumstances than Talmy’s principles would predict. 10 01 JB code hcp.69.07kaw 205 234 30 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 7.

It shows that although this language closely follows the verb-framed pattern in expressing (i) and (ii), it does not do so in expressing (iii), as in many other verb-framed languages. A possible reason for this is that (iii) is not conceptualized as a macro-event, whereas Talmy’s typology is built on expression patterns of macro-events. This study also observes that there are other types of events to which Talmy’s typology does not apply, presumably for the same reason: they are not really macro-events. 10 01 JB code hcp.69.08cap 235 280 46 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 8.

As a translation corpus, I use Roald Dahl’s children’s book <i>The Witches</i>, which abounds in staring and peeping events, and its Dutch and French translations. Based on the hypothesis that languages’ constructional repertoires for physical motion are exploited for visual motion, one can predict, correctly, that Dutch uses its syntactically wide variety of path complement types in the domain of visual motion. It is tempting to assume that French, lacking looking verbs expressing path, would lose its generally verb-framed nature in visual motion descriptions. However, French appears to preserve some of its typological identity, by using causative path verbs such as <i>lever</i> ‘raise’ combined with an object meaning ‘one’s eyes/gaze’.

Neutral and specialized path coding</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Toward a new typology of path-coding devices and languages</Subtitle> 1 A01 Yo Matsumoto Matsumoto, Yo Yo Matsumoto National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics 20 caused motion 20 deixis 20 representation type 20 self-motion 20 visual emanation 01 The purpose of this chapter is to present a new typology of path coding used in motion event descriptions in various languages. The crucial starting point for the new typology is how Path is expressed across different constructional types of motion event representations. The constructional types considered are Self-motion, Caused motion, and Emanation. The study suggests that path-coding devices can be divided into two major kinds: one kind with broad distributional potential across different constructional types of representations, and the other specialized for a particular constructional type of representation. Languages tend to have preferences toward adopting which kind of path-coding device is predominantly used. Languages that utilize the former can be called neutral path-coding languages, and those utilizing the latter, specialized path-coding languages. Path and Deixis coding in several languages are examined in these terms. Some patterns of intralinguistic and interlinguistic variations are also discussed. 10 01 JB code hcp.69.si 319 324 6 Miscellaneous 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code hcp.69.ni 317 318 2 Miscellaneous 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20200811 2020 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027205667 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 575026705 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code HCP 69 Hb 15 9789027205667 13 2020013601 BB 01 HCP 02 1387-6724 Human Cognitive Processing 69 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Broader Perspectives on Motion Event Descriptions</TitleText> 01 hcp.69 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/hcp.69 1 B01 Yo Matsumoto Matsumoto, Yo Yo Matsumoto National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics 2 B01 Kazuhiro Kawachi Kawachi, Kazuhiro Kazuhiro Kawachi National Defense Academy of Japan 01 eng 332 vii 324 LAN016000 v.2006 CFG 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.COGN Cognition and language 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SEMAN Semantics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.TYP Typology 06 01 Human languages exhibit fascinating commonalities and variations in the ways they describe motion events.

Neutral and specialized path coding</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Toward a new typology of path-coding devices and languages</Subtitle> 1 A01 Yo Matsumoto Matsumoto, Yo Yo Matsumoto National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics 20 caused motion 20 deixis 20 representation type 20 self-motion 20 visual emanation 01 The purpose of this chapter is to present a new typology of path coding used in motion event descriptions in various languages. The crucial starting point for the new typology is how Path is expressed across different constructional types of motion event representations. The constructional types considered are Self-motion, Caused motion, and Emanation. The study suggests that path-coding devices can be divided into two major kinds: one kind with broad distributional potential across different constructional types of representations, and the other specialized for a particular constructional type of representation. Languages tend to have preferences toward adopting which kind of path-coding device is predominantly used. Languages that utilize the former can be called neutral path-coding languages, and those utilizing the latter, specialized path-coding languages. Path and Deixis coding in several languages are examined in these terms. Some patterns of intralinguistic and interlinguistic variations are also discussed. 10 01 JB code hcp.69.si 319 324 6 Miscellaneous 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code hcp.69.ni 317 318 2 Miscellaneous 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20200811 2020 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 735 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 69 20 01 02 JB 1 00 99.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 104.94 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 20 02 02 JB 1 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 1 20 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 149.00 USD
