<b>Title: The place of Polish in Talmy’s typology of languages</b><br>
<b>Abstract:</b> The paper presents the analysis of voluntary and
caused motion data in Polish. I draw on the elaboration on Talmy’s
typology (which includes such new categories of languages as
double-framed ones) and concentrate on event types rather than
classification of a language as a whole. A number of factors which
determine the level of integration of the construction used for
describing a given motion situation have been singled out.
Generally speaking, the more untypical path or manner of motion,
the more the construction diverges from the common pattern of
expressing motion in a given language. The aim of the present
study is to discuss the syntactic constructions used for rendering
motion in Polish depending on those factors.<br>
The study is based on the data elicited from 24 respondents,
who described motion events. The stimuli comprised of two series
of cartoons: one presenting caused motion and the other voluntary
motion events. The motion situations presented to the respondents
involved a variety of paths (i.e. into, out of, across and up) and
manners of motion (e.g. walk, run, swim, slide or crawl).<br>
The study reveals asymmetries in the type of constructions
used to depict usual and unusual manners of motion. In Polish the
untypical manners of motion (e.g. raczkować ‘to crawl’) are
lexicalized by means of less typical constructions (i.e.
satellite-framed, e.g. Dziecko biegło przez ulicę ‘A child ran
across the street’, subordination, e.g. Dziecko przeszło przez
ulicę raczkując ‘A child across-went across the street crawling’
and coordination e.g., Hoppy wszedł na górkę i wtoczył kamień.
‘Hoppy went on the hill and rolled a stone’), which integrate
manner to a lesser degree than double-framed construction.
Double-framed construction (which in Polish means the use of the
verbal prefix and preposition, as in Przeszedł przez ulicę. ‘(he)
across-went across the street’) appears with typical manners of
motion (e.g. biec ‘to run’). The study also shows that less
typical path of motion, namely up, correlates with construction
similar to the verb-framed and tends to be lexicalized by verbs
coding, besides Manner, also Path (e.g. wdrapywać się ‘to clamber’
or piąć się ‘to climb’). <br>
