“…This section briefly reviews the three theoretical frameworks that inform the present study, namely Corpus Pattern Analysis, Frame Semantics and Conceptual Metaphor and Metonymy Theory. These approaches have been combined in establishing, describing and distinguishing lexical units (both single-word and multi-word ones) for a prelexicographic database for manner-of-motion verbs in English and Modern Greek (Dalpanagioti [2013(Dalpanagioti [ , 2018a) and in reconstructing entries for MLDs (Dalpanagioti [2018b(Dalpanagioti [ , 2019). Lexical Units (LUs), i.e.…”

This paper investigates conceptual and phraseological patterns from a cross-linguistic perspective. The focus of attention is on the fluidic motion uses of the highly polysemous verbs run and τρέχω ‘run’ in English and Modern Greek respectively. They are manner of motion verbs denoting the typically human, fast movement on ground and they are frequently cited in the literature on motion event encoding; yet, their extended use to denote motion of liquids is mentioned only in passing. The study thus provides a comprehensive description of that part of the semantic network of the two verbs that relates to fluidic motion (literally and figuratively). The contrastive approach taken combines cognitive semantics (Frame Semantics, Conceptual Metaphor and Metonymy Theory) with a phraseological view of language. Convergences and divergences are identified at a conceptual and phraseological level through a twofold corpus-based study involving comparable monolingual analysis and parallel corpus investigation.

Treatment of theWay-Construction in English-Chinese Learners’ Dictionaries: A Construction Grammar Approach

This article focuses on the treatment of the way-construction (work one’s way through, find one’s way to, etc.) in English-Chinese learners’ dictionaries (ECLDs). Despite its complexity in structure and meaning, little research has been conducted into the systematic organization of the way-construction in learners’ dictionaries. Adopting a construction grammar approach, we subdivide the way-construction into three interpretations. We suggest that the ‘path-creation’ interpretation is the basis, while the ‘manner’ and ‘accompaniment’ interpretations are its subtypes, and provide evidence for these claims. We then identify the deficiencies in addressing the way-construction in current ECLDs. In addition, we conduct an acceptability judgement test and a translation test to pinpoint the difficulties that Chinese EFL learners might encounter in acquiring the way-construction. Finally, we propose a refined version for ECLDs concerning the treatment of the way-construction. This study is not only intended to optimize the entry of the way-construction for ECLDs, but also to offer a possible solution through which constructions can be systematically organized in learners’ dictionaries.
