The Segmentation and Representation of Translocative Motion Events in English and Chinese Discourse: A Contrastive Study

Autor Guofeng Zheng
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2021
This book provides a systematic, contrastive analysis of the segmentation and representation of English and Chinese Translocative Motion Events (TMEs), which possess Macro-Event Property (MEP). It addresses all the issues critical to understanding TMEs in English and Chinese, from event segmentation, MEP principles and the conceptual structure of TMEs and their constituents, to the representation of Actant, Motion, Path and Ground. The book argues that the corpus-based alignment for the TME segmentation in both languages, the parameters of Actant, Motion, Path and Ground and their relevant statistical description are particularly important for understanding English and Chinese TMEs. The linguistic materialization of Actant, Ground, Path and Motion, together with a wealth of tables and figures, offers convincing evidence to support the typological classification of English and Chinese. The book’s suggestions regarding the Talmyan bipartite typology and Bohnemeyer’s MEP contribute to theadvancement of TME studies and language typology, and help learners to understand motion events and English-Chinese typological similarities and differences.

Caracteristici

Is the first book contrasting the segmentation and representation of motion events in English and Chinese Serves as the first book adopting the theory of the macro-event property to analyze Chinese motion events Offers sound, corpus-based analyses of the differences and similarities between English and Chinese motion events Provides cross-linguistic evidence to support the typological classification of English and Chinese in terms of motion event representation Puts forward suggestions for further improving the theory of the macro-event property
