On interpreting construction schemas : from action and motion to transitivity and causality / edited by Nicole Delbecque. Bert Cornillie. - Berlin ; New York : Mouton de Gruyter , c2007. - ix, 369 p. ; 24 cm. - Trends in linguistics. Studies and monographs ; 198 .
Includes index
This volume addresses the constructional variability with transitive and causative verbs from the point of view of their respective action and motion patterns. Drawing on the theoretical advances registered in cognitive approaches to language (Cognitive Grammar, Construction Grammar and space semantics), the papers substantiate new interpretations and adduce empirical evidence from various languages to refine or adjust existing analyses of transitivity and causation. The different contributions all address the crucial question of how concrete and abstract notions of human behavior drive Lingui.
