The major findings in this work suggest 1) that the role of compression in conceptual blends is a facilitating force in the production of fictive motion, and 2) this facilitating force motivates a semiotic typology of fictive motion that refines Talmy¿¿¿¿s original analysis.</p> 2012-08-24 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1339097784 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1339097784 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
