What is Phonological Typology (2014, background): “…or abstraction between generative parameters and original contributions of typology such as direct object vs. primary object (Dryer 1986), verb-framed vs. satellite-framed lexicalization patterns (Talmy 1985, Slobin 2004), various aspects of alignment (e.g., Dixon 1994, Dixon & Aikhenvald (eds.)”
What makes manner of motion salient? Explorations in linguistic typology, discourse, and cognition (2006, unknown): “I have proposed that there is a third type of lexicalization pattern (Slobin, 2004); a similar conclusion has been reached by Zlatev and Yangklang (2004), working on Thai, a serial-verb language from a different group (Tai-Kadai), and by Ameka and Essegbey (in press), with regard to West African…”
Assessment of Bilingual Children for Identification of Language Impairment: Current Findings and Implications for Practice (2008, background): “In a follow-up study, Slobin (2004) proposed that stylistic differences emerge because accessibility of expressions (lexical and syntactic) interacts with culture practices to shape narrative structure and content.”
Perceiving and remembering events cross-linguistically: Evidence from dual-task paradigms (2010, background): “For instance, Slobin has proposed that the manner of motion for speakers of manner languages is a ‘‘salient and differentiated conceptual field” compared to speakers of path languages, with potential implications for how manner of motion is perceived/attended to on-line and remembered (Slobin, 2004;”
Conceptual transfer: Crosslinguistic effects in categorization and construal* (2010, result): “…of cognitive linguistics, Slobin himself has concentrated on how it relates to Talmy’s work on the cognitive semantics of motion events (e.g., Slobin, 2004, 2005, 2006), and this is also true of most of the work in this line of research, including the articles in the present issue by Brown…”
Typological variation in encoding the manner, path, and ground components of a metaphorical motion event (2004, background): “Thus, unlike manner, which is optional, path constitutes an obligatory component of a motion event; and without a path verb or a path satellite, one cannot really talk about a motion event (Slobin 2004).”
Bidirectional cross-linguistic influence in event conceptualization? Expressions of Path among Japanese learners of English* (2010, unknown): “Yet while the dichotomy may be a sim-pliﬁcation (see Slobin (2004b), for example, for a discussion of equipollently framed languages), numerous studies have provided empirical support for this basic typological division (e.g., papers in Strömqvist & Verhoeven, 2004).”
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.”
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/b) 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, methodology): “A manner verb that conflates the notion CLIMBING with the vector DOWNWARDS does not exist in Turkish, as tırman- means CLIMB UPWARDS (Slobin, 2004).”
Event categorisation and language: A cross-linguistic study of motion (2010, background): “of Manner languages is a salient and differentiated conceptual field compared to speakers of Path languages, with potential implications for how manner of motion is perceived/attended to online and remembered (Slobin, 2004).”
Ways of Crossing a Spatial Boundary in Typologically Distinct Languages (2015, methodology): “Following Aske (1989), we defined boundary crossing as a path expression that predicates a locative end state and included stimuli that captured three types of path with locative end states: entry into a bounded space, exit out of a bounded space, and traversal to the other side of a threshold, whic”
Developing Noun Phrase Complexity at School Age: A Text-Embedded Cross-Linguistic Analysis (2010, background): “In contrast, Hebrew is a verb-framed language (Slobin, 2004) with morphologically complex head verbs, but whose verb phrases are syntactically sparse (Berman, 1980a); Hebrew abounds in verbless so-called ‘nominal sentence’ structures and, in the absence of a lexically distinct class of manner adverb”
