    FICTIVE MOTION: A COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS APPROACH
    (CEP USM, 2019) Chitii, Tatiana
    Sentences like the road runs along the valley or the tattoo runs along the spine are used by speakers in everyday language. Even though these sentences contain verbs of motion, actual motion does not take place. Cognitive linguists claim that such sentences imply a sense of motion and term it –fictive motion(Talmy), abstract motion(Langacker) or subjective motion (Matsumoto). In some cases, fictive motion is believed to involve simulated motion, when the reader simulates motion along a portion of the road, in others, simulated visual scanning –the language user (if no travelable path is present) visually scans the trajectory. This article presents an overview of opinions and experiments concerning this phenomenon. The cognitive treatment of fictive motion rightly points to the connection between experience and linguistic meaning.

    TALKING ABOUT HUMAN LOCOMOTION: A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON THE ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN NARRATIVES
    (CEP USM, 2019) Bodean-Vozian, Olesea; Cincilei, Cornelia
    In the last decades, an array of cross-linguistic research has been devoted to motion conceptualisation, Leonard Talmy’s seminal work in typology (1978, 1985, 1991, and 2000) having a great contribution to it. Talmy (1991) divided languages into verb-framed and satellite-framed, depending on how they express Path, the “core schema” of a motion event. The verb-framed languages tend to encode Path in the verb and the Manner in a gerund, adverb or omit it, while satellite-framed languages express Path of motion in a verb particle called satellite and the Manner of motion in the verb. This paper analyzes human locomotion as a sub-type of motion by comparing the ways English and Romanian conceptualise it, particularly focusing, first, on the Manner component, in terms of information granulation levels and, second, on the Path component, in terms of motion directionality conceptualization.
