Cognitive semantics classifies motion verbs based on the sort of semantic information which their verb roots characteristically encode, that is, manner, path or shape. Insights gained from our study reveals that English and Vietnamese motion verbs are typologically different in utilizing lexicalization patterns to conflate Path and Manner of Motion with Move elements. Given the conclusions, this paper indicates possible implications for language teaching and translation, hopefully providing an alternative method of analyzing an aspect of language from a different point of view. 2017-08-28T08:10:56Z 2017-08-28T08:10:56Z 2011 Article 2525-2445 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/58509 en Vol 27;No 2 application/pdf H. : ĐHQGHN
