Neglected Aspects of Motion-Event Description*
(NAMED)
*May 19th-20th, 2017*
*école normale supérieure, Paris*
*http://transfers.ens.fr/article601.html*
This workshop is organized around the invitation of Pr. Leonard Talmy,
who will be giving a series of four lectures from Monday 15th to Friday
19th May 2017 (“How Language Represents Motion”, at the école normale
supérieure in Paris : see http://transfers.ens.fr/article602.html).
The workshop will focus on *Neglected Aspects of Motion-Event
Description*. It starts from the observation that there have been over
thirty years of extensive research on the expression of Path and Manner
within the typological distinction of Verb-framed vs. Satellite-framed
languages. Whether the Path is expressed by the verb or a satellite
gave rise to abundant literature both in descriptive linguistics and in
psycholinguistics, in a typological perspective.
A subtitle for this workshop could be “Beyond the Path / Manner
dichotomy”. As Talmy himself has noted in a foreword to a book edited
by Iraide Ibarretxe-Antuñano, *Motion and space across languages and
applications* (to appear), there is a full range of parameters of Motion
description which have been left somewhat unexplored :
“[…] research on the Motion typology has mainly addressed only Manner
from the full set of framing relations, and only Motion from the full
set of macro-event types. And research on fictive motion has addressed
mainly coextension paths out of the full set of path categories. But
researchers can use their strengths in diverse languages and empirical
methods to examine the remaining parameter values”. (Talmy, “Foreword :
Past, present, and future of motion research”, to appear,).
In this text, Talmy briefly illustrates the different points which could
be addressed :
1. The range of relations that a co-event can bear to a Motion event
2. The range of forms with which a co-event can conflate
3. The range of semantic components expressed in a verb
4. The range of macro-event categories
5. The range of multiple macro-event nestings
6. The range of fictive motion categories
We encourage submissions on these (and other) less-described parameters
of motion events and refer the reader to Talmy’s foreword (see here
http://wings.buffalo.edu/linguistics//people/faculty/talmy/talmyweb/Recent/Iraide.pdf)
for details on these issues. We are open to various approaches,
including typological, contrastive, diachronic, corpus-based and
experimental (psycholinguistic, multi-modal) ones.
