Abstract:

In his ten Beijing lectures, Leonard Talmy represents the range of his work in
cognitive semantics. The central concern of this approach is the linguistic
representation of conceptual structure, that is, the patterns in which and
processes by which conceptual content is organized in language. The lectures
examine the semantics of grammar, force dynamics, a typology of how motion
events are represented, factive versus fictive motion, a typology of event
integration, differences in how spoken and signed language structure space,
the attention system of language, introspection as a methodology in
linguistics, the relation of language to other cognitive systems, and
digitalization in the Evolution of language.
