Variable Aspectual Coercion in Spanish Fictive Motion Expressions
IVITRA Research in Linguistics and Literature, 2015Fictive motion expressions blur the distinction between stativity and dynamicity. The paper presents a corpus-based exploration of the variable ways in which structural and procedural knowledge merge in Spanish fictive motion expressions with oriented-motion verbs and manner-of-motion verbs. The metaphorical projection from motion to stativity does not

The Function of Manner Adverbials in Fictive Motion Expressions
Arbeiten aus Anglistik und Amerikanistik, 2021The paper presents a study on fictive motion (FM) expressions, linguistic manifestations of the conceptualization of stationary scenes in terms of motion (e.g. The road slowly climbs through fertile valleys and plantations). It focuses on the role of manner adverbials, building on the premise that since motion verbs in FM uses do not describe actual ...

Construal of fictive motion constructions involves a complex of correlated cognitive parameters, including spatial reference frame, kind and direction of motion implied, and degree of entrenchment. Because fictive motion research to date has not sufficiently controlled for these variables, its findings remain ambiguous and contestable.

A Constructional Study of Chinese Fictive Motion Expressions
International Journal of Linguistics, 2018Fictive motion is a linguistic phenomenon that depicts stationary entities with a sense of motion. It is popularly encountered in world languages. This study explores the network and semantics of the Chinese fictive motion construction within the framework of Cognitive Construction Grammar (CCxG).

Frame shifting and fictive motion in Shelley’s poetic sublime
Journal of Literary Semantics, 2022Abstract In a key article on “Foregrounding and the sublime” (2007), David S. Miall outlined a stylistic as opposed to representational approach to the sublime in verbal art, focusing not on the object or scene that provokes sublime experience but instead on forms of poetic language that may evoke an analogously sublime experience in the

Verbal Predicates in Chinese Fictive Motion Expressions
2015This article explores the verbal predicates employed in one type of Chinese fictive motion expressions, namely, coextension paths. Eight patterns were identified, encompassing compound verbs, verb-complement constructions, polysyllabic words, monosyllabic verbs, monosyllabic adverbial modifier + monosyllabic verb constructions, nouns of locality ...

Deprofiled Arguments in Coextension Path Fictive Motion
2011Fictive Motion (FM) constructions where static entities are construed as dynamic have been studied from multiple perspectives; most notably on processing times and cognitive simulation (Matlock: 2004). The present study takes a different approach and explores FM as a discourse mechanism that moderates information flow in geography writing.

Expressions of emanation fictive motion events in Thai
This study investigates Thai expressions of emanation fictive motion events within the framework of cognitive linguistics. An emanation event is an imagined event in which an intangible entity moves from a source entity relative to a reference entity.openaire +1 more source
Fictive Motion and Visualisation: Dynamic Spatial Perception in Turkish
Dilbilim Dergisi / The Journal of LinguisticsThis study investigates fictive motion (FM) expressions in Turkish, focusing on how static spatial relationships are described dynamically through language. FM, a linguistic phenomenon where static scenes are described with motionrelated terms (e.g., "The road winds through the valley"), stimulates mental simulation and enhances spatial ...
