Fictive Motion in the Context of Mountaineering [PDF]

open access: yesSpatial Cognition and Computation, 2018

Fictive motion: Some models in cognitive linguistics [PDF]

open access: yesCogent Arts & Humanities, 2021
Motion is a universal phenomenon and indispensable for human life. In everyday communication, we often use language about the motion to express motionless situations. This usage is pervasive when we are describing stationary representations.

Fictive Motion Extraction and Classification [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2018
Fictive motion (e.g. ‘The highway runs along the coast’) is a pervasive phenomenon in language that can imply both a static and a moving observer. In a corpus of alpine narratives, it is used in three types of spatial descriptions: conveying the actual motion of the observer, describing a vista and communicating encyclopaedic spatial knowledge.

An enactive approach to fictive motion [PDF]

open access: yesCorela, 2021
The linguistic path has been explored through several works (Talmy, 2000a; Dan I. Slobin, 2003). The present paper investigates a path underlain by the fictive motion (FM) phenomenon: The plateau goes east along the river. This itinerary, here called the

Literal, Fictive and Metaphorical Motion Sentences Preserve the Motion Component of the Verb: A TMS Study [PDF]

open access: yesBrain and Language, 2011
We used Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to assess whether reading literal, non-literal (i.e., metaphorical, idiomatic) and fictive motion sentences modulates the activity of the motor system. Sentences were divided into three segments visually presented one at a time: the noun phrase, the verb and the final part of the sentence.

Verbs in Fictive Motion

open access: yes, 2018
This book presents a corpus-based study of verbs used in expressions of fictive motion, which refers to the cognitive-linguistic phenomenon of describing material objects incapable of movement in terms of motion over their configuration in space. The study focuses specifically on the category of coextension paths, which are used to describe the form ...

Fictive Motion as Cognitive Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesMemory and Cognition, 2004
Sentences such as The road runs through the valley and The mountain range goes from Canada to Mexico include a motion verb but express no explicit motion or state change. It is argued that these sentences involve fictive motion, an implicit type of motion. But do people trying to understand these sentences mentally simulate motion?

Modulation of BOLD response in motion-sensitive lateral temporal cortex by real and fictive motion sentences. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Cogn Neurosci, 2010
AbstractCan linguistic semantics affect neural processing in feature-specific visual regions? Specifically, when we hear a sentence describing a situation that includes motion, do we engage neural processes that are part of the visual perception of motion? How about if a motion verb was used figuratively, not literally?
