Motion in Chinese: Event Conceptualization and Grammatical Realization

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Chengzhi Chu

Motion is one of the most basic human experiences, and it provides an important window for looking into human cognition and language. Within the paradigm of cognitive semantics, this book presents a comprehensive study of the conceptualization and linguistic representation of motion in Mandarin Chinese. It focuses on the correlation between the ways in which Mandarin speakers conceptualize motion events and the ways in which they render them and carefully considers the typological properties. In addition to deepening our understanding of motion cognition and expressions, this study also affords insights for L2 learning and teaching of motion in Chinese. See more
