Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Basic Semantic Components in Motion Expressions
Linguists posit some basic semantic components in the construction of motion events across languages even though different languages can by typed by the ways in which they position certain semantic components. Talmy (1975) first proposed a category of six semantic components: Figure, Ground, Path, Motion, Manner of Motion and Cause of Motion. Figure: a salient moving or conceptually movable object whose path or location is at issue. Ground: a
Reference frame or a reference object stationary within the reference frame, with respect to which the Figure?s path or site is characterized. Path: a variety of paths followed, or sites occupied by, the Figure object with respect to the Ground object in a motion event. Motion: the presence per se of motion. Manner: a subsidiary action or state that an agent/object manifests concurrently with its main action or stare.

1.2. Motion Event Typology
Two major versions of language typology have been put forth by Talmy (1985) and Slobin (2004). Talmy (1985) advances dichotomy of language typology: satellite-framed language and verb-framed language; then Slobin (2004) augments typological theory with a third type: equipollently framed language. This part will expatiate on both versions of language typology through their development of figuration. In a complete construction of a motion event, there are at least four semantic components: Ground, Figure, Path and Motion. When language is used to describe a motion event, it naturally recruits certain semantic components readily available, choosing to accentuate certain information and to relegate others. The framing semantic component refers to the Path. Depending on the syntactic locus of Path information, Talmy (1985, 1991, 2000) proposes typing languages via their motion event expressions into satellite-framing languages and verb-framing languages. Talmy defines satellite as the grammatical category of any constituent other than a nominal or prepositional phrase complement that is in a sister relation to the verb root (ibid). For satellite-framed languages, Motion is encoded in the central verb, while Path is encoded in the periphery of the clause. Satellite-framing languages are equipped with numerous motion verbs, enabling speakers to describe motions in a specific manner. For example, in English, a prominent satellite-framed language, there are many different ways to throw something away (cast, pitch, toss
