Abstract:
This book offers a fine-grained analysis of the most common ingressive and
egressive verbs in present-day English in terms of the semantic-pragmatic and
cognitive factors responsible for their various structural representations. It
draws upon the fundamental assumptions of Cognitive Linguistics, according to
which grammar is symbolic and conceptually motivated, and focuses in
particular on the ability of these predicates to be integrated into
constructions as a result of metonymic and metaphoric processes, which impose
a well-defined set of constraints. The book supports its analysis and findings
with examples both taken from three of the major corpora of English, namely
BNC, COCA and GloWbe, and retrieved through ad hoc Internet searches.
Although the literature on English aspectual verbs is vast, there are no
studies of the language-external factors responsible for their different
configurations. As such, this book fills this gap by offering linguists and
students of linguistics a detailed investigation of this topic. It will also
be of value to scholars with a more general interest in the linguistic
evidence of cognitive activity in meaning construction.
