Neglected Aspects of Motion-Event Description
A week at the École normale supérieure with Leonard Talmy : International Workshop

Organized by Laure Sarda and Benjamin Fagard (CNRS-ENS, Lattice, Paris, France)

This workshop is organized around the invitation of Pr. Leonard Talmy, who will be giving a series of four lectures from Monday 15th to Friday 19th May 2017.

The workshop will focus on Neglected Aspects of Motion-Event Description. It starts from the observation that there have been over thirty years of extensive research on the expression of Path and Manner within the typological distinction of Verb-framed vs. Satellite-framed languages. Whether the Path is expressed by the verb or a satellite gave rise to abundant literature both in descriptive linguistics and in psycholinguistics, in a typological perspective.
