Topic: Verb framing


  
  Verb framing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, verb framing is how verb phrases in different languages vary regarding whether the main verb tends to encode the manner of motion or the direction of motion.
English verbs use particles to show the path of motion ('run into', 'go out', 'fall down'), and its verbs usually show manner of motion; thus English is a satellite-framed language.
English verbs that counter this tendency are almost invariably Latinate, such as "exit", "ascend", or "enter".

 Verb - FrathWiki
A verb is a part of speech that usually denotes action ("bring", "read"), occurrence ("to decompose" (itself), "to glitter"), or a state of being ("exist", "live", "soak", "stand").
Depending on the language, a verb may vary in form according to many factors, possibly including its tense, aspect, mood and voice.
A copula is a special kind of verb, sometimes called a linking verb, that is used to describe its subject or equate or liken the subject with its predicate.

As a noun, frame denotes the boundary within which the whole picture is displayed (similar to a frame placed around a picture or painting), and is used as a tool for interpreting and understanding the perceptions and underlying objectives of the various actors in the conflict.
Risk and information frames: Intractable disputes often involve expectations about future events, in which the events are risky and the likelihood of the events occurring is uncertain.[21] In such conditions, disputants often construct risk and information frames that yield highly variable assessments about the level and extent of a particular risk.
Within processes of reconciliation, negotiation, or joint problem solving, explicit management of frames, and the framing process may lead to important shifts in both the frames themselves and in their impact on the conflict dynamics.

The semantic frame is the primitive unit of semantic structure, and the type (category) of entities in a semantic frame are defined by their role in the frame.
Instead, the universals that we use the names 'noun', 'verb', 'subject' and 'object' for are patterns in the topography of conceptual space (an approach that represents a significant contribution from cognitive linguistics to typology, incidentally).
Different verbs may be defined from the same force-dynamic conceptual semantic structure of an event, depending on what segment(s) of the causal (force-dynamic) chain is actually denoted by the verb.

A copula is a special kind of verb, sometimes called a linking verb, thatis used to describe its subject or equate or liken the subject with its predicate.
In languages where the verb is inflected, it often agrees with its primary argument (what we tend to call the subject) inperson, number and/or gender.

Languages treat these five types of framing event alike structurally, even though they are semantically distinct, perhaps on the basis of some abstract conceptual analogy that the latter four types bear to a motion event.
As for the co-event, it is a distinguishable event in close association with the framing event that bears to it one of a certain set of relations -- usually that of manner or of cause.
To illustrate, the path of a motion event is characteristically represented by a satellite in a satellite-framed language like English, as in (1a), but in the main verb in verb-framed languages in a formulation something like that suggested in (1b).

Frame theory is often credited with "bringing ideas back in" social movement studies, but frames are not the only useful ideational concepts.
Frame theory is rooted in linguistic studies of interaction, and shows how shared assumptions and meanings shape the interpretation of events.
Frame theory offers a relatively shallow conception of the transmission of political ideas as marketing and resonating, while recognition of the complexity and depth of ideology points to the social construction processes of thinking, reasoning, educating, and socializing.

 2.3. The Two-way typology
The focus is now on which element expresses the directed motion, that is, the path, which according to Talmy is the framing event or "core schema".
Languages express the framing event in the verb or in some other element accompanying the verb, the satellite to the verb.
Languages that characteristically map the core schema into the verb will be said to have a framing verb and to be verb-framed languages.

 DUO - Digital utgivelse ved Universitetet i Oslo - Verb chains in Nizaa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Nizaa verb chains resemble verb series in so far as up to 4 verb roots may be part of the verbal constituent, but unlike verb series in other West-African languages, objects or other arguments cannot be inserted between the verbs.
In chapters 6 and 7, Nizaa verb chains are examined from the point of view of this theoretical framework, dividing the material of the corpus into the 5 framing event types.
Chapter 8 sums up the finds: that the final verb of a chain is the locus of the framing event and the non-final verb(s) has a support relation of co-event to the framing event.

Although as events or actions, culture and history are co-extensive, the patterns of activity and expectations that people abstract from history can be reified into a static culture when history seems to be threatening one's power to determine one's own future.
