Abstract:

This volume offers a unique combination of interdisciplinary research and a
comprehensive overview of motion and space studies from a semantic typological
perspective. The chapters present cutting-edge research covering central
topics such as the status of semantic components in motion event descriptions
and their role in typological variation, the function of linguistic multimodal
structures for the codification of motion, the diachronic evolution of motion
expressions and its effects on motion typologies, the correspondences between
physical and non-physical (fictive, metaphorical) motion, and the impact of
contexts and genres on the characterization and interpretation of motion
events. These issues are examined from a theoretical and applied linguistic
perspective (L1–L2 acquisition, translation/interpreting). The analyses make
use of diachronic and synchronic data collected by a range of methods
(elicitation, experimentation, and corpus research) in more than fifteen
languages. All in all, this book will be of great value to scholars and
students interested in the expression of motion and space across languages.
