Explaining Embodied Cognition Results (2012, background): “Len Talmy (1983, 1988, 2000a, 2000b) showed that spatial relation terms, across many languages, are based on widespread if not universal primitives that require reference to the body.”
Manners of human gait: a crosslinguistic event-naming study (2014, background): “There has been a good deal of consensus with regard to the basic dimension of Path (“an object’s basic location shifts from one point to another in space” (Talmy 2000: 35), with much research on varieties of Path; however in the current investigation Path is not at issue.”
Mappings between linguistic sound and motion (2013, background): “6 6 There is a rather mature typological literature examining how motion is expressed cross-linguistically (e.g., Talmy 2000; Slobin 2004); this body of work makes typological distinctions between languages based on the relationship between the figure, ground, manner, and path in a motion event.”
The many ways to search for a frog: Linguistic typology and the expression of motion events (2004, background): “In one way or another, all of the studies confront Talmy's by now familiar typology of verb-framed and satellite-framed languages (Talmy, 1985, 1991, 2000).”
Event categorisation and language: A cross-linguistic study of motion (2010, background): “For instance, English has path verbs, such as enter, exit, ascend, and descend, and Greek has manner verbs, such as treho ‘run’, kilo ‘roll’, perpato ‘walk’, and peto ‘fly’ (e.g., Antonopoulou, 1987 for Greek; Slobin, 2004; Talmy, 2000 for English).”
Construal and Perspectivization (2010, background): “…backgrounding any boundaries (beginning and endpoint) of the designated process, irrespective of the meaning of the verb (see also Michaelis 2004; Janssen and Boogaart, this volume, chapter 31). languages such as Spanish, on the other (cf. Talmy 2000b: 21–67, for a recent comprehensive overview).”
What makes manner of motion salient? Explorations in linguistic typology, discourse, and cognition (2006, unknown): “There are at least two sorts of explanations for this avoidance: (1) the construction unnecessarily foregrounds the owl's manner of movement (see Talmy, 2000, p. 128, on foregrounding and backgrounding); (2) it is " heavy " in terms of processing (production/comprehension).”
L1 transfer in the acquisition of manner and path in Spanish by native speakers of English (2012, unknown): “This observation has led researchers such as Talmy (1985, 2000a, 2000b) and Slobin (2004) to propose a typology of languages according to how the information is packaged.”
Transfer of conceptualization patterns in bilinguals: The construal of motion events in Turkish and German* (2010, background): “He suggested that languages can be categorized into two types on the basis of where they characteristically express Path (Talmy, 1985, 2000a, b).”
Revising Talmy’s typological classification of complex event constructions (2010, background): “Talmy first proposed a typological classification of motion event constructions over thirty years ago (Talmy 1972, 1974, 1985); he later extended his typological classification to event constructions in general, particularly, constructions expressing events with resulting states (Talmy 1991, 2000).”
Reflections on Manner/Result Complementarity* (2010, background): “Thus, Romance languages do not allow telic path phrases with manner of motion verbs (Aske 1989, Green 1973, Talmy 1975, 1985, 1991, 2000), nor do they allow a result phrase with other types of manner verbs; Greek is the same (Giannakidou and Merchant 1998, Horrocks and Stavrou 2003).”
