{"product_id":"motion-in-language-and-experience","title":"Motion in Language and Experience","description":"Motion has attracted much attention in the field of semantics. In cognitive\u003cbr\u003esemantics, it is seen as a basic and universal domain for language and cognition.\u003cbr\u003eIn semantic typology, languages have been suggested to follow a binary typology\u003cbr\u003eof “motion events”. However, the validity of these claims has been disputed in\u003cbr\u003erelation to cross-linguistic diversity.\u003cbr\u003eBy bringing together insights from Husserlian phenomenology and Cognitive\u003cbr\u003eLinguistics, Motion in Language and Experience develops a framework for\u003cbr\u003eaddressing important questions in contemporary semantics. In order to account\u003cbr\u003efor both universality and variation across languages, this framework proposes\u003cbr\u003ethat linguistic meaning is motivated from experience, but strongly adaptable to\u003cbr\u003elanguage-specific conventions.\u003cbr\u003eSemantic and typological issues are addressed in two cross-linguistic studies\u003cbr\u003ecarried out with speakers of Swedish, French and Thai. The first study investigates\u003cbr\u003ethe expression of actual motion, where an object changes its position against a\u003cbr\u003ebackground. The second study focuses on the expression of non-actual motion,\u003cbr\u003ewhere motion expressions are used to describe situations without any apparent\u003cbr\u003epositional change, such as The road runs through the forest.","brand":"Media-Tryck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31914514481241,"sku":"9789187833014","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9789187833014_1-motion-in-language-and-experience.jpg?v=1749798740","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/motion-in-language-and-experience","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
