  LINGUIST List 12.2016: Talmy, Cognitive Semantics, 2 volumes
Talmy's intention in both volumes is to address the issue of the linguistic representation of conceptual structure.
Here, Talmy's new vocabulary seems to be on the brink of a discovery similar to Lakoff and Johnson's (1980) classification of various types of metonymy as falling under the category of metaphor in the broadest sense.
Talmy also avoids philosophical discussion of objectivism and subjectivism as a duality, by acknowledging the need to establish the factuality of an event together with the perspective of the speaker who associates it with a broader context.

 Talmy: Force Dynamics
The main paper on this faculty from a linguistic approach is Leonard Talmy's "Force Dynamics in Language and Cognition" (1988).
Talmy is working in the Cognitive Linguistics tradition of Wittgenstein, Rosch, and Lakoff; like Jackendoff, he uses semantic fields to infer central conceptual structure.
At the time of this article, Talmy was at the Institute for Cognitive Studies at Berkeley; this intellectual environment appears to have been relatively insulated from the work of experimental psychologists interested in domain specificity, although the two communities were in fact developing similar and convergent models of cognition.

 CSI: Man4
Talmy's basic objective is to identify certain 'conceptual structures' in language that are in general parallel to the structuring mechanisms in other cognitive domains such as visual perception.
Talmy's FD category is purported to be a 'generalization' over the causative, since an expanded notion of 'causing' (i.e., force exertion) as well as related notions such as 'letting' (removal of blockage), 'hindering', blocking, and 'helping' can be included within the framework of this category.
Talmy thinks that the FD patterns expressed in sentences 2a and 2b, with their precursor-resultant sequences are semantically more basic than an agentive / accusative + instrumental sentence like 'I toppled the lamp by hitting it with a ball'.

Talmy (1985) proposes that English serves as the prototype for the first group of languages, where the verb expresses the motion and manner of motion, and consequently, satellites are necessary to express the path and direction of motion.
Spanish, known as the prototype for Verb-framed languages, relies on the verb for expressing both the motion and its direction, resulting in the use of verbs that are less concerned with the manner of motion.
As specified in Talmy's (1985) definition of a motion event, the ground elements in this case refer to the goal of movement or labeled source of the path.

 Review of Talmy, Cognitive Semantics
In the two volumes of this widely-anticipated work, Leonard Talmy systematically arrays and expands the studies that have won him immense influence as one of the most original theorists of language.
Talmy takes the view, familiar from various traditions of philology and linguistics, that language conforms to a fundamental design feature: it is divided into two subsystems, the grammatical and the lexical.
Talmy's study of fictive motion is extraordinarily wide-ranging and deep, as are his similar studies of the way in which language schematically structures space, foregrounds and backgrounds conceptual structure, relates events, deploys a model of force dynamics, distinguishes causative situations, and so on.

 Dallas Willard  ARTICLES
Now the presentations by Barry Smith and by Leonard Talmy rest upon first level phenomenological work--whatever one may happen to call it, or not call it--and occupy themselves with questions of the next level up.
Leonard Talmy's discussions are also concerned with space and spatial structures as objects of cognition or consciousness.
Now on the basis of first level phenomenological work of the sort indicated, Leonard proceeds to draw and theoretically organize basic linguistic distinctions--such as that between the "Open-Class Forms" and "Closed-Class Forms" and the interplay between them--and to apply them to Topology: to space and motion as objects of certain linguistically framed experiences.

Talmy ha abbandonato, perciò, la concezione composizionale della sintassi -di tradizione generativista- identificando le strutture grammaticali del linguaggio con un livello profondo del sistema cognitivo, organizzato in rappresentazioni concettuali schematiche piuttosto che simboliche o algebriche.
La concezione di Talmy si sviluppa, dunque, secondo due punti fondamentali: 1) un enunciato evoca una RC schematica, 2) alcune strutture linguistiche rispecchiano la struttura schematica della RC, trasmettendo da parlante a parlante l'informazione più rilevante di una certa situazione.

 About Cognitive Linguistics
Cognitive Linguistics grew out of the work of a number of researchers active in the 1970s who were interested in the relation of language and mind, and who did not follow the prevailing tendency to explain linguistic patterns by means of appeals to structural properties internal to and specific to language.
Talmy had published a number of increasingly influential papers on linguistic imaging systems (Talmy 1985a,b and 1988).
The work of Lakoff, Langacker, and Talmy formed the leading strands of the theory, but connections with related theories such as Construction Grammar were made by many working cognitive linguists, who tended to adopt representational eclecticism while maintaining basic tenets of cognitivism.

 Mind
Talmy’s cognitive semantics (Talmy 2000a, 2000b) is analyzed here in the light of the recent findings of attentional semantics (Marchetti, 2003, 2005).
Talmy’s cognitive semantics is founded on the main assumption that language is a major cognitive system in its own right, distinct from the other major ones (perception, reasoning, affect, attention, memory, cultural structure, and motor control).
In fact, he is led to analyze language mainly by relating it to the other major cognitive systems, with the consequence of describing it in terms of the procedures and patterns of the particular cognitive system to which the language system is each time related.

Cogitive semantics is typically used as a tool for lexical studies such as those put forth by Leonard Talmy, George Lakoff, Dirk Geeraerts and Bruce Wayne Hawkins.
As part of the field of cognitive linguistics, the cognitive semantics approach rejects the formal traditions modularisation of linguistics into phonology, syntax, pragmatics, etc. Instead it divides semantics (meaning) into meaning-construction and knowledge representation.
Many cognitive semantic frameworks, such as that developed by Leonard Talmy take into account syntactic structures as well, while others focus mainly on lexical entities.

 paper1
Considered part of the emerging discipline of Cognitive Semantics, Force Dynamics, put forward by Leonard Talmy, captures the mechanisms used by language to represent how entities interact with respect to force.
Talmy develops the model as a generalisation over the traditional notion of “causative”.
Through extension, the concept of force is seen as a notional system that structures conceptual material across a linguistic range: the physical, psychological, social, inferential, discourse and mental-model domains of inference and conception.

Leonard Talmy approaches the question of how language organizes conceptual material both at a general level and by analyzing a crucial set of particular conceptual domains: space and time, motion and location, causation and force interaction, and attention and viewpoint.
Talmy maintains that these are among the most fundamental parameters by which language structures conception.
By combining these conceptual domains into an integrated whole, Talmy shows, we advance our understanding of the overall conceptual and semantic structure of natural language.

 Construction of Meaning Workshop
Leonard Talmy’s classification of languages as “verb-framed” or “satellite-framed” has led to a large number of linguistic and psycholinguistic studies of how speakers of different languages describe, understand, perceive, and remember motion events.
But as more languages are investigated, and in a greater range of discourse contexts, it has become apparent that in order to account for usage patterns in an individual language it is necessary to consider more than the typology of lexicalization and constructions.
In general, Talmy’s binary typology is reflected in greater attention to manner of motion in satellite- than in verb-framed languages.

Talmy cautioned that the number of universities with centers or groups approaching the study of the mind this way is still small.
In recent trips to other universities that have an interest in studying cognition, Talmy has noticed how far ahead of other schools the UB effort has come.
Talmy says the successes of the UB Center for Cognitive Science have resulted in part from the efforts of a core group of faculty, all of whom have a strong inclination towards interdisciplinary work.
