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.LinguisticsComparative linguisticsLinguisticsMethodologyTheoretical Linguistics / GrammarComparative LinguisticsResearch Methods in Language and LinguisticsLinguistics.Comparative linguistics.LinguisticsMethodology.Theoretical Linguistics / Grammar.Comparative Linguistics.Research Methods in Language and Linguistics.415Zheng Guofeng1074268MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484641703321The segmentation and representation of translocative motion events in English and Chinese discourse2572130UNINA
