Abstract:

The paper looks back at Hawkins (1986), A comparative typology of English and German, and shows, on the basis of raising and human impersonal pronouns in English, Dutch and German, that contrastive linguistics can be viewed as a pilot study in typology. It also pleads for doing the contrastive linguistics of three languages rather than of two, not least because the third language can teach us something about the other two.

Abstract:

Linguistics as the scientific study of language has very crucial role in running language instruction. Changes in language teaching-learning method reflect the development of linguistic theories. This paper describes how the three broad views of linguistic theories, namely traditional grammar, generative grammar, and functional grammar work in relation to English language teaching and learning. Since both linguistics and language learning have the same subject to talk about, the knowledge of the language, then, is the core. Linguistic features analyzed are on the levels of Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics and Discourse as the basic components, supported by Psycholinguistics and Sociolinguistics. In relation to language teaching and learning, especially English, such knowledge on the English language gives learners the chance to apply in social communication and in any occasion. The use depends on the viewing of linguistic theories (English) in certain era, which reflects the need of learners in using English. It is assumed that the more linguistic competence someone has, the easier he/she can run his/her instructional activities. As the consequence, in the English language learning, the syllabus designer should notify the mentioned levels of linguistic components while constructing English instructional materials, methods, and evaluation based on the stage of learners to avoid misunderstanding in use. In this case, English instructors/teachers should also update their linguistic competence, especially on Psycholinguistic and Sociolinguistic points of view. Key words/phrases: linguistics, English, language instruction, linguistic competence

Abstract:

The purpose of this corpus-based study is to compare the use of hedges and associated linguistic constituents in the linguistic research articles authored by Pakistani English Writers (PEWs) and native English writers (NEWs). NEWs hedge more than their PEWs peers, as per the outcomes of the two corpora (20 linguistics research articles by PEWs and 20 linguistics research articles by NEWs). Nevertheless, the statistics revealed that both corpora employed hedging types that were quite similar. To minimize the legitimacy of their assertions and arguments, both factions relied primarily on lexical and hedging strategies, and both groups avoided utilizing hedges such as adverbs of frequency. Likewise, neither group used epistemic nor possibility hedging much. Nonetheless, the use of linguistic elements of hedging by PEWs and NEWs authors differ considerably. PEWs are more committed to their opinions being more appealing and persuasive, owing to the clear impact of first language and culture.

Abstract:

The research article “DIALECTICS OF ENGLISH LINGUISTICS” is an outcome of the direct study and observation of the use of English, of the teaching faculty at about 21 colleges, particularly Engineering colleges in Coastal Andhra area. It intends to expose various dialectics of English as a second language, identify redundant usage and use effective English. Change of trends in meaning and usage occurs mainly in the two components of communication, namely vocabulary and grammar, due to lack of clear understanding of Syntax and Semantics. Form of words like heterophones, besides other forms, confuses the learners. Confusion over the use of the American, the Australian, the British and the Indian English, in pronunciation, spelling as well as meaning: Word such as ‘Offing’ to mean ‘likely to happen soon’ is quite misleading. Exposure to Mass Usage has great influence on pronunciation of words by the masses and media Ex. Koombing, ‘baeverse’ etc. Bilingual errors, the result of undue influence of mother tongue, is a proven case, in all Indian States. Similarly the use of double positives, wrong association of words, double negatives, and mistaken negatives as positives has become the worst cases of mass influence. Use of colloquial or slang words due to interaction with people from different regions on account of L.P.G, result in assimilation, integration of this class of vocabulary, percolating subconsciously by the process of osmosis. Lack of suitable vocabulary, among English professionals ranging from lecturers to professionals, lead to monotonous use of words. For example, the word “beautiful” is used to describe many nouns.

Abstract:

This article provides an overview of the relationship between studies of syntactic variation in dialects of English and theoretical accounts of language structure. In the first section of the article, we provide a discussion of the place of syntactic variation within various subdisciplines of linguistic enquiry: we address issues such as I- and E-language, the place of Standard English in linguistic theory, and interfaces between traditional dialectology, variationist sociolinguistics, and theoretical linguistics. These interfaces suggest the need for a clarification of the nature and status of the (morpho)syntactic variable, which we provide in section 3; and in section 4, we examine the way in which (morpho)syntactic variation is treated within a number of theoretical models – for instance, Principles and Parameters theory, HPSG, OT, and cognitive linguistics (including Word Grammar and Construction Grammar) – all of which feature in the other articles in this special issue.

Abstract:

The study aimed at examining the number of English linguistics questions, question formats, and test trends of the Public Secondary School English Teacher Employment Exam (PSSETEE) from 2019 to 2022. The results of the study revealed that the proportion of English linguistics questions had the highest proportion on the exam, comprising more than 26 percent in the PSSETEE. When analyzing the ratio by sub-field, phonology/ morphology and syntax/semantics showed the largest proportion in English linguistics questions, comprising more than 90 percent of the items. In particular, the ratio of phonology/morphology was more than that of syntax/semantics in the recent 4 years. This was different from the fact that syntax/semantics had the largest proportion in English linguistic questions from 2014 to 2018. Regarding question formats, the English linguistics questions tended to show more extended-response essay formats (n=16) than short-answer formats (n=10). Finally, the discrepancy between the rate of English linguistics courses in the Teachers College curriculum and that of English linguistics questions on the exam was discussed with future suggestions.

Abstract:

Corpus has gained its popularity in linguistics over the past five decades, from the computerized storage of English language in Survey of English Usage in 1959 to the ongoing development of Corpus of Contemporary American English. Because of the huge size of actual language data compiled in corpora, many linguists and language teachers working with English language have benefited from them in linguistic research and teaching practice. Up to now, there are innumerable English online corpora recording data from various genres, modes, and regions as well as corpus tools to analyze self-compiled corpus. The massive development of corpora, however, has not been widely discussed among English language researchers and practitioners in Indonesia, let alone in English language teaching. Although linguistics and language teaching are two inseparable and firmly related fields, corpus as a concept and product of linguistics seems ignored or even avoided. This paper then aims to review the nature of corpus and how it is used to assist linguistic analysis. More importantly, this paper discusses another possible application of corpus, e.g., the use of corpus in teaching language. Considering the nature and the benefits of using corpora, it is then important to promote the use of corpus to enhance English language teaching and learning, either directly in the classrooms or indirectly in materials development.

Abstract:

Summary Linguistics hegemony, linguistics imperialism, and linguistic colonialism are serious issues that have not gained enough attention in applied linguistics research. English as a medium of instruction (EMI) in non-anglophone countries is a type of linguistics imperialism (Phillipson, 2018). EMI policy has led to adverse outcomes in several aspects such as low achievement of learning outcomes, challenges to students’ identity, limited access to educational resources, unjust treatments, and unfair assessment in undergraduate programs. This research study investigates the views of students and academic experts using questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings of this study demonstrate the lack of educational justice and the strong connection between linguistic hegemony and the colonization of consciousness. The findings show that participants in EMI programs do not engage in authentic, rigorous, and fun learning. Decisions to use EMI are either based on fallacies regarding the nature of language, on fuzzy assessment of educational priorities, or both. We strongly encourage applied linguists, language policymakers, and university administrators to play significant roles in challenging English hegemony and English supremacy to promote educational justice, equal opportunities to learn, and fair treatment in EMI undergraduate programs around the globe, especially in non-anglophone countries.

Abstract:

The article examines linguostylistic specifics of the pragmatical and symbolic realization of the poetic discourse based on English. As the purpose of the work, we analyzed the use of linguistic means of symbolization in the English poetic discourse in the linguopragmatic aspect. The article discusses the importance of stylistic means in English for poetic influence on the addressee. In analyzing verses from pragmalinguistic side is necessary to show their stylistic peculiarities. We did a contextual analysis of poetic works at the text and hypotext levels using the method of symbolic interpretation, stylistic analysis, and linguopragmatic analysis. As the material of the study, we analyzed the poetic works of English poets. The theoretical significance of research results is to identify linguistic specifics of pragmatic and symbol realization of the poetic discourse in the English linguoculture. The study contributes to the development of discursive linguistics, pragmalinguistics, lexicology and stylistics of English, theory of linguistics, linguoculturology. In practical terms, results can be used in teaching the theory of discourse, pragmalinguistics, linguistic analysis of the poetic text, lexicology, and stylistics of English.

Abstract:

The paper discusses metapragmatic assessment of verbal irony by speakers of Russian and American English. The research combines ideas from metapragmatics, folk linguistics and corpus linguistics. Empirical data are drawn from the Russian National Corpus (RNC), the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Spontaneous evaluation of linguistic behavior is an important function of both explicit and implicit metapragmatic uses of language. Distributional adjectival patterns of the Russian word ирония and English irony are treated as implicit indicators of folk metapragmatic awareness. Connotations of the adjectives reflect our everyday linguistic practices and contribute to the vagueness of the notion and the definition of irony in scholarly theorizing.

Abstract:

With the rapid social and economic development, the connection between countries is becoming more and more close, and the breadth and depth of China's opening to the outside world has been significantly improved. Therefore, English language education has been paid attention to by educational scholars, and the construction of the theoretical system of English linguistics is more and more in-depth. At present, The study of English linguistics in China has begun to integrate with other disciplines and put forward a multi-dimensional research system of English linguistics. On the basis of understanding the importance of multi-dimensional study of English linguistics, this paper mainly analyzes how to construct a linguistic theoretical system from three perspectives, so as to provide basis for relevant academic research.

Abstract:

The present article constitutes a critique of orthodox linguistics based on language- philosophical reflections. Taking the ‘Pan Swiss English Project’ as a typical example of how linguists at Swiss universities approach the topic of English in Switzerland (Pablé, 2013), I will argue that the results and conclusions drawn from this kind of research tell us little per se; the reason for this being that linguists assume their view about the world and the languages that inhabit it to be in no need of further explanations or justifications – in other words, they do not regard their own philosophy of language and linguistics as determining the kind of research questions asked. Instead linguists working on Lingua Franca English, and more generally on World Englishes, are busy collecting ‘data’ as a means of ascertaining whether a newly discovered variety of English ‘out there’ exists or not. This article introduces the reader to a non-mainstream approach within linguistics called integrationism or integrational linguistics (Harris, 1996; 1998) that advocates a semiology that makes a belief in ‘languages’, ‘dialects’, ‘varieties’ as first-order realia redundant. Integrationists believe that an integrational semiological theory is preferable to any mainstream semiological theories presently on offer because only the former is in accord with our everyday lay linguistic (i.e. communicational) experience.

Abstract:

The paper examines the influence of modern linguistics and the consequences of language reflection on both English language and global philology. A comparative analysis of preferences and lacks of traditional and modern linguistics represent a common view of the progress and the needs of the language. The paper aims to highlight several recent studies of modern linguists in the field of English linguistics such as Chomsky, Sapir, Halliday and Bloomfield as the representative of English speaking grammarians. Modern linguistics, as a set of different variations, raises the question of how and why language changes over time. It possibly may represent the basis for research on contemporary linguistics as a turning point for language change in the future, as well as the impact of society on language, change and universals.

Abstract:

Abstract Benedikt Szmrecsanyi, Professor of Linguistics in the Quantitative Lexicology and Variational Linguistics research group at the Katholieke Universiteit (KU) Leuven, writes this article exploring the connections between register and variationist linguistics. He is involved with various large-scale research projects in areas such as probabilistic grammar, variationist sociolinguistic research, linguistic complexity, and dialectology/dialectometry. Szmrecsanyi’s books include Grammatical Variation in British English Dialects: A Study in Corpus-based Dialectometry (2013, Cambridge) and Aggregating Dialectology, Typology, and Register Analysis: Linguistic Variation in Text and Speech (Szmrecsanyi & Wälchli 2014, Mouton de Gruyter). He is currently a principal investigator on a major grant-funded research project titled ‘The register-specificity of probabilistic grammatical knowledge in English and Dutch’, a project aimed at exploring the question of whether register differences lead to differences in the processes of making linguistic choices. In sharp contrast to the status quo in variationist linguistics, where register is often ignored entirely, much of Szmrecsanyi’s variationist research treats register as a variable of primary importance. The findings from these studies have led Benedikt Szmrecsanyi to state that “we need more empirical/variationist work to explore the differences that register makes” (Szmrecsanyi 2017: 696).

Abstract:

The goal of this research was to find out what role linguistics plays in the English teaching process that takes place at Bakti Indonesia University. The lecturer of Bakti Indonesia University, teaching English along with technological developments can be implemented with various methods and development efforts. One of the efforts made was to optimize the linguistics role, especially applied linguistics, in English teaching process. It is very natural in English teaching process as broad knowledge which is fundamental about the principles of language being learned. The linguistic theories of English lecturers and teaching staff will not find any problems in describing a language especially English in its use. The research method used was descriptive with qualitative approach in its implementation. From the results can be concluded that the teaching method of English language material is not only learning system that plays major role, but more than that it is communication medium that can understand the basic principles of English teaching. For a student that learning any language requires a lot of process and practice in English.

Abstract:

Corpus linguistics is being used for a wide range of research tasks. A database on English lexicology was compiled on the basis of the semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic information found in the stylistically marked lexical items of the COBUILD 1987. It offers linguistic information on 7981 units annotated as "formal" or "informal" in the COBUILD 1987. This database may be used for quantitative and qualitative analysis and for a critical evaluation of the classifications used in the COBUILD dictionary. The aim of this paper is basically descriptive: (i) some information is given on the linguistic information stored; (ii) some tentative conclusions are drawn. For example, if the COBUILD formality labels were assigned rigorously, it might be concluded that (i) "formality" is a skew system; (ii) that the "formal/informal" scale has an equi distribution; (iii) that emphasising informal adverbs are so numerous because they illustrate a tendency to exaggeration observed in informal, relaxed situations, in which interactants usually struggle for controlling the message.

Abstract:

The relevance of linguistic studies to educational practices has been an issue hotly debated for some time among specialists in English language education. Many such specialists have questioned the value of any linguistic insights, preferring to rely on various pedagogical theories, most of them not informed by any rigorous examination of language, its nature and functions, or its role in learning. This paper argues the importance of developing an educational linguistics, the better to inform curriculum planning and pedagogical practices in schools. In particular the paper argues the importance of the contributions of systemic functional linguistic perspectives to the development of a model of language and literacy of a kind which can usefully underpin curriculum planning and learning theory. Such a model, while drawing extensively upon other related contemporary social theories, will nonetheless place a functional grammar firmly at the heart of its concerns.

Abstract:

This contribution analyses the argumentative premises underlying applied linguistic research conducted in the area of English-medium instruction. Applied linguistics not only studies language as it is used in the real world but is widely understood as an approach through which real-world problems in matters of language can be solved. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that applied linguistics is commonly used as a diagnostic perspective in English-medium instruction (EMI) research where it aims to provide insight into issues in need of fixing or improvement. Such studies are not conducted in an argumentative vacuum: they are embedded in a background process of policymaking, debate and discussion by stakeholders and policymakers who are involved in the introduction of English as an international language in higher education. This paper aims to highlight the argumentative backdrop against which applied linguistic research into EMI is construed and legitimised. Analysing conference abstracts in the field of EMI, the paper seeks to draw attention to everyday logic and beliefs applied linguists engage in when submitting paper proposals for conferences. It calls for a critical applied linguistic research agenda which foregrounds the potential ideological effects everyday conceptualisations of language have on EMI research and, ultimately, on EMI policymaking.

Abstract:

Modern linguistics cannot define and identify the best or standard pronunciations, writing and grammar. The choice and decision of sole human unified standard official or common language cannot be solved by modern linguistics generally. The current linguistics is no longer met the human developments because it can’t answer what the best language is. The sole unified standard official global English cannot appear because of English linguistic level and shortcoming mainly. English linguistics comes to predominate in the contemporary era. Negating and improving the current linguistics must be negated and improved English linguistics first. The finite numerals are expressed infinite quantities in the mathematics. The finite sounds are represented the infinite meanings in the language. The theory and method are almost same in the mathematics and linguistics generally. The linguistics is a branch or concrete application of information theory (IT). IT is based on the probability theory and statistics generally. A meaning is often certain code, string of codes or mathematical value in the language. Defining or explaining certain meaning of language is measured and calculated a mathematical value actually. A subsystem or subtopic such as language teaching is often based on the general linguistics.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of lexical units, which constitute the linguistic and cultural field “Sea” in modern English. The study is conducted on the basis of the theory of linguistic culture and focuses on the interrelation between language and culture. The author emphasizes the significance of extra-linguistic factors in coining new phraseological units, which are viewed as translators of the national linguistic picture of the world. The article also examines lexical and stylistic features of phraseological units with a “Sea” component in English. The research reveals national and cultural traits reflected in phraseological units of this kind. The article is dedicated to the perspectives on the development of contemporary English phraseology, some phraseology studies implemented by modern linguists are analyzed. New tendencies, such as cognitive linguistics, and comparative and typological research of English phraseology, are described in the article. The trends mentioned above are quite up-to-date for contemporary linguistics and are aimed at solving language as well as human cognition problems.

Abstract:

Abstract Merja Kytö is Professor of English Language at Uppsala University. In this article, she provides a detailed accounting of the role of register in research on the historical development of language. Her substantial body of work has focused on both the historical development of specific registers, as well as how historical change has been mediated by register. Her research has encompassed a range of time periods (from Early Modern English to the 19th century) and registers (for example, depositions, Salem witchcraft records, and dialogues). Her many edited collections have brought historical linguists together into comprehensive and rigorous volumes, including the Cambridge Handbook of English Historical Linguistics (Kytö & Pahta 2016, Cambridge University Press), English in Transition: Corpus-Based Studies in Linguistic Variation and Genre Styles (Rissanen, Kytö, & Heikkonen 1997, De Gruyter), and Developments in English: Expanding Electronic Evidence (Taavitsainen, Kytö, Claridge, & Smith 2014, Cambridge University Press). She has been a key contributor to the development of principled historical corpora, such as the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts project, which represents a range of registers from Old and Middle English to Early Modern English. Merja Kytö has long been a leader in demonstrating how systematic attention to register can result in rich profiles of historical development, and in addressing the inherent challenges involved in utilizing historical documents for linguistic research.

Abstract:

Genre studies allow researchers to observe the repeated communicative functions and their linguistic components in different genres (Brett, 1994). Writing the introduction section is a tough and burdensome task for both native and non-native speakers (Swales & Feak, 1994). Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the generic organization of English research article introductions written by native English and Iranian non-native speakers of English. A total of 160 published articles were selected from established journals in Applied Linguistics. Following Swales’ (2004) Create A Research Space (CARS) model, the researchers analyzed the articles for their specific generic patterns. Findings displayed that native English writers used significantly more strategies than Iranian non-native speakers of English, yielding richer texts. The findings of the present study contribute to the current knowledge of cross-cultural studies in academic writing to non-native English speakers in general and to non-native English novice writers in particular. Built on Swales’ (2004) CARS model, the study describes how introduction sections are developed in English by native and non-native speakers, offering insights into ESP/EAP writing pedagogy.

Abstract:

This research paper investigates and compares the linguistics influences of shapes and materials between English and Chinese speakers. One previous study compares animate entities, inanimate discrete, and inanimate non-discrete among English, Yucatec Mayan, and Japanese speakers. However, very few previous studies investigate the influences of shapes and materials on Chinese speakers. Therefore, this paper cited the data of A cross-linguistic study of early word meaning: universal ontology and linguistic influence Imai and Gentner, about American speakers and collected new data about Chinese speakers, comparing their different responses based on the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis. The results show that Chinese numeral classifiers are more forcibly used when referring to substances than complex and simple object references. English has its influence on those participants who, to some extent, encountered English during their past studies. As users of a language who does not require a numeral classifier adopt unless referring to substances, English speakers are anticipated to focus more on the material when addressing substances. Also, in this research, Chinese speakers have fewer respondents on shapes than American participants. It is a very meaningful study that can imply the linguistics influences of English and Chinese language on speakers’ thoughts.

Abstract:

Most Indonesian people master at least two languages, Bahasa Indonesia and mother tongue. Both of them can give impact into the phenomena of language, like code mixing, interference, and etc. Linguistics is divided into two parts those are micro linguistic and macro linguistics. Micro linguistics, the sub-discipline linguistics; consist of phonology and phonetic, morphology, syntax, and semantics. While macro linguistic consists of: psycholinguistic, anthropolinguistics and sociolinguistic. In this research, the writer analyzes about The interference of Bataknese language in spoken English of beginner. The data which are used are primary and secondary sources. The method of data collection are metode simak, and metode simak bebas libat cakap. To analyze the data, the writer uses metode padan and metode agih. The method of data presentation use formal method and informal method. Interference of language is a form of irregularities in the use of language of the norms that exist as a result of language contact or the introduction of more than one language is used interchangeably by the speakers.The result of the research shows that Bataknese students heads towards their mother tongue, so when they speak English, there are some interferences of Bataknese to English especially in phonology. In phonology there are two elements, those are Segmental and Suprasegmental. For the Segmentel element, there are vowel and consonant change of Bataknese to English. In Suprasegmental, there are intonation and stress interference of Bataknese and English.

The polyethnic aspects of modern English include important aspects of modern English linguistics. While English has the status of a global language spoken all over the world, it has its characteristics and aspects that are formed between different nations and peoples. The article examines the sociolinguistic, comparative-typological, structural-semantic, communicative-pragmatic aspects of the English language, which are widespread in the world and specific to certain peoples. In our study, the analysis of different approaches to the regional variants of literary English, and the analysis of differences and similarities between the variants allowed us to draw certain conclusions about the literary variant of English.

Abstract:

The present research examines a set of methods and approaches concerning using modern linguistic innovations in teaching English as a foreign language. Communicative linguistics is among the priority directions in this field. The purpose of the research lies in establishing the efficiency of using a communicative approach for learning English in the framework of university education; the attitude of Ukrainian students to the communicative method, the involvement of the possibilities of communicative linguistics in mastering English is determined. The methodology of the research is complex, based on the pedagogical experiment. Descriptive method, synthesis and analysis have been used to determine the theoretical fundamentals of the research. Statistical methods have been used to measure the achievements and attitudes of the experiment participants. The main hypothesis lies in the fact that the methods and tools of communicative linguistics facilitate and speed up the process of mastering English. The results of the research have shown that despite a number of difficulties, the participants of the experiment approve the introduction of a communicative approach in learning English; their academic results and communication skills have increased. Moving forward, there should be experimental research involving linguistic innovations in the practice of learning foreign languages.

Abstract:

Problems of formation of new words in language are relevant in linguistics since its inception, but there is still no consensus on the understanding of neologism in the linguistic sense. In domestic linguistics, neologisms are studied from the standpoint of stylistic, psycholinguistic, denotative, structural and historical theories based on the criteria of novelty of origin, denoted by denotation, novelty of word form and meaning, novelty of unit use in literary language and speech of individual languages. In foreign linguistics, the lexicographic theory of a new word prevails, in the framework of which neologisms include words that are not registered in dictionaries. However, each of these theories has shortcomings due to its relativity in relation to the individual / linguistic community or due to too narrow a focus. In modern neology, the linguistic and cultural approach is promising, from the standpoint of which neologisms are considered as units with culturally significant information. The approaches studied exist due to the definition that neologisms are the result of human activity and can have a cultural impact. The need to develop a linguo-cultural approach is dictated by the fact that the content of neologisms is formed under the influence of both linguistic and culturological factors. The scope of neologisms is another criterion for determining these linguistic phenomena. As part of the linguo-cultural approach in neology, we focus on literary language. National-cultural marking of language new word is also revealed in the analysis of the system of meanings of new words and their associations in lexical-semantic paradigms. The interaction of language and culture is manifested in the distribution of new lexical items from different conceptual areas in different languages.

Abstract:

Many Japanese university students' English writing skills are insufficient despite completing at least six years of English language instruction before entering university. Several researchers have explored this topic. A corpus-based approach to this field, for example, has improved the understanding of the writing skills of learners of English. In Japan, the recent developments in corpus linguistics have enabled instructors and researchers to analyze English linguistic features written by Japanese EFL learners. For example, Mizusawa (2015) referred to the Japanese EFL learner Corpus, a collection of junior high and high school students' English essays, to investigate the linguistic features, such as lexical density, grammatical intricacy, and semantic variations framed by systemic functional linguistics (SFL). This paper aimed to examine English academic writings written by 38 Japanese university students. Their writings were analyzed in terms of lexical density and semantic features within the SFL frameworks. The results highlighted that the critical limitation in Japanese university students' writing skills suggested teaching students the lexicogrammatical differences between written and spoken modes of the English language.

Abstract The study of space and motion in space as well as its further verbalization remains one of the topical issues of present-day linguistic research, though motion in personal space still needs a more detailed analysis. This paper analyzes English verbalization of movement in communicative space from a cognitive linguistic perspective. It aims at revealing specific features of the constructions under study by applying such a theoretical tool of cognitive linguistics as image schemas.
