Languages use different strategies to encode motion. Some use particles or “satellites” to
describe a path of motion (Satellite-framed or S-languages like English), while others …

Comics are a global phenomenon, and yet it's easy to distinguish the visual styles of comics
from Asia, Europe, or the United States. But, do the structures of these visual narratives differ …

Recent research in motion event typology has moved beyond the binary Talmian division of
“verb-framed” and “satellite-framed” languages and has established the existence of at least …

The present study investigates cross-linguistic differences in the description of motion events
using Holistic Spatial Semantics (HSS) as a theoretical framework. In this study, six short …

These disparate opinions taught me a few things. First off, since people advocated for
various methods, it told me that this visual language could be studied in all the ways that we …

The paper contributes to the typology of encoding motion events by highlighting the role of
the verbal root meaning in lexicalization of motion. We focus on lexical semantics of the …

This article discusses the specific use of deictic verbs for encoding boundary-crossing
situations in descriptions of non-actual motion, ie dynamic depictions of static spatial …

This study examines how we encode in language an aspect of motion that has gained little
attention–the differentiation of Figure and Ground in a motion event. We examine how …

Fictive motion is a term coined by Talmy to refer to a universal linguistic and cognitive
salience phenomenon within his framework of lexicalization patterns and motion event …

The encoding of motion events is known to be challenging for second language (L2) users,
particularly if the lexicalization patterns of their first language (L1) diverge from those of the …
