Neglected aspects of motion-event description: deixis, asymmetries, constructions Human cognitive processing ;, v. 72./ edited by Laure Sarda, Benjamin Fagard.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and indexes."The idea of this book on "Neglected Aspects of Motion Event Descriptions" comes from the observation that, over the last 30 years, much attention has been devoted to the manner/path divide in relation to the distinction between Verb-Framed and Satellite-Framed languages. This mainstream focus has left aside other aspects of motion event descriptions. The chapters of this volume take an in-depth look at three less-studied aspects of motion expression. The first part of the book focusses on directional deixis, especially in relation to associated motion and visual motion. The second part explores variations in Source-Goal asymmetries. The third part investigates different types of motion event constructions, e.g., with various types of co-events. Many languages are taken into consideration throughout the 11 chapters, which gives the volume a clear typological dimension.

6. La grammaticalisation en question : du latin aux langues romanes modernes
No full textBenjamin Fagard montre que les facteurs d’évolution ne relèvent pas tous de la « grammaticalisation », souvent invoquée de manière abusive. Après la définition de la classe « préposition » et du processus « grammaticalisation » est retracée l’histoire de la formation de la classe, depuis d’indo-européen jusqu’aux langues romanes modernes, puis examinés les différents cas où est invoquée la grammaticalisation mais où cette explication trouve ses limites, comme dans le cas de l’emprunt (arabe hatta / espagnol hasta) ou de la lexicalisation (le nom provient de l’emploi prépositionnel, et non l’inverse)

No full textJ.C. Painter letter to Benjamin Lundy
No full textLetter from J.E. Painter to (presumably) Benjamin Lundy, answering a request for information about the history and operations of the Underground Railroad. Letter includes details of a story of an ex-slave transported on the Underground Railroad through Ohio and stories of the plight of other fugitive slaves crossing the Ohio River.
Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His "Genius of Universal Emancipation" was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico
Mexican land grant contract to Benjamin Lundy, March 10, 1835 (English)
No full textLegal document from an unsigned officer to Benjamin Lundy, authorizing him rights as empresario to a tract of land in then-Mexico. The document extends a previous treaty made to Lundy by the government of Mexico from November 17, 1823 -- presumably, this land is to be the site of Lundy's freed slave colony.

Eli Nichols letter to Benjamin Lundy, March 17th, 1839
No full textFriendly note from Eli Nichols to Benjamin Lundy covering topics in contemporary abolition, ranging from the social status of abolitionists to the oppression of the poor. Much of the letter concerns a review of contemporary social movements in equality-based education, including Shaker and Quaker communities. The letter concludes in discussion of Nichols' and Lundy's interest in forming a freed slave colony or community in then-Mexico, and describes the climate and culture of those regions in detail.

Mexican land grant contract to Benjamin Lundy, March 10, 1835 (Spanish)
No full textLegal document in Spanish from the government of Tamaulipas, Mexico, to Benjamin Lundy, which appears to grant Lundy the rights of empresario for his proposed colony for freed slaves in Tamaulipas.

Source/Goal (a)symmetry: A comparative study of German and Polish
No full textInternational audienceThis paper compares the expression of Source and Goal in German and Polish, on the basis of descriptions elicited with a series of video clips. As satellite-framed languages (Talmy 1985, 2000), both German and Polish mainly rely on grammatical morphemes to encode Path of motion with respect to Source and Goal. Nevertheless, despite this shared typological feature, these languages also display fine morphosyntactic and semantic differences. Our study reveals that the expression of Source and Goal is more asymmetrical in German as compared to Polish, in both the types of linguistic resources and the semantic distinctions. We show that German speakers tend to combine Path satellites with Path verbsincluding both deictic satellites and deictic verbsmore frequently in Source-oriented events, depicting them with finer semantic distinctions than Goal-oriented events. In the expression of the Ground, however, they tend to make more distinctions in the expression of Goals as 2 Benjamin Fagard & Anetta Kopecka compared to Sources, by using a greater variety of prepositions. Polish speakers, by contrast, tend to express Source and Goal in a more symmetrical fashion. These cross-linguistic differences are discussed in the light of language-specific characteristics and their role in the expressionsymmetrical or asymmetricalof Source and Goal
