Spatial Encoding in Persian: The Expression of Motion Events by Persian Native Speakers [PDF]
̒Ilm-i Zabān, 2021 Following Talmy’s classification of world languages in to two-category of verb-framed (V-language) and satellite-framed (S-language) that distinguishes between languages in terms of their encoding patterns of motion events, there has been a lot of ...

Delimitedness and trajectory-of-motion events [PDF]
Proceedings of the sixth conference on European chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1993 The first part of the paper develops a novel, sortally-based approach to the problem of aspectual composition. The account is argued to be superior on both empirical and computational grounds to previous semantic approaches relying on referential homogeneity tests.

Co-event relations in Swedish motion constructions
, 2022 This paper discusses co-events denoted by verbs used in Swedish motion events. The motion events are analyzed as constructions in the sense of construction grammar, in which the motion component can be argued to be evoked by a syntactic construction ...

Motion events in Chantyal [PDF]
, 2003 Empirical investigation of spatial reference in the languages of the world reveals a much more complicated picture. While there are certainly some similarities in spatial reference across languages, there are also deep differences. In this paper, the author presents a description of motion events in Chantyal from the perspective of the by-now-familiar ...

Principles of Event Segmentation in Language: The Case of Motion Events [PDF]
Language, 2007 We examine universals and crosslinguistic variation in constraints on event segmentation. Previous typological studies have focused on segmentation into syntactic (Pawley 1987) or intonational units (Givón 1991). We argue that the correlation between such units and semantic/conceptual event representations is language-specific.

Occluded motion alters event perception [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2013 We employed audiovisual stream/bounce displays, in which two moving objects with crossing trajectories are more likely to be perceived as bouncing off, rather than streaming through, each other when a brief sound is presented at the coincidence of the two objects. However, Kawachi and Gyoba (Perception 35:1289-1294, 2006b) reported that the presence of

NeuroImage, 2022 Embodied theories of semantic cognition predict that brain regions involved in motion perception are engaged when people comprehend motion concepts expressed in language. Left lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) is implicated in both motion perception
