The Semantics of Dynamic Space in French: Descriptive, experimental and formal studies on motion expression
Edited by Michel Aurnague and Dejan Stosic
Research on the semantics of spatial markers in French is known mainly through Vandeloise’s (1986, 1991) work on static prepositions. However, interest in the expression of space in French goes back to the mid-1970s and focused first on verbs denoting changes in space, whose syntactic properties… read more[Human Cognitive Processing, 66] 2019. ix, 396 pp.

2025 Introduction Similatives: Semantic sources, pathways, and types of usage, Kisiel, Anna, Hélène Vassiliadou, Valentina Benigni, Beatrice Bernasconi, Lieselotte Brems and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 179–188 | Introduction
2025 Noun-based similarity markers in Serbian: A survey Similatives: Semantic sources, pathways, and types of usage, Kisiel, Anna, Hélène Vassiliadou, Valentina Benigni, Beatrice Bernasconi, Lieselotte Brems and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 405–435 | Article
The present study proposes a typology of relatively new similatives in Serbian, derived from nouns and forming part of a nominal phrase in an [NP1 SIM NP2] construction (where SIM stands for ‘similative’). In Serbian, there are two semantic source domains for similatives at issue: taxonomic… read more
2019 Recent advances in the study of motion in French: A survey The Semantics of Dynamic Space in French: Descriptive, experimental and formal studies on motion expression, Aurnague, Michel and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 1–28 | Chapter
2019 Les prépositions complexes dans les langues romanes Les prépositions complexes dans les langues romanes, Fagard, Benjamin, José Pinto De Lima and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 1–7 | Introduction
2019 Manner as a cluster concept: What does lexical coding of manner of motion tell us about manner? The Semantics of Dynamic Space in French: Descriptive, experimental and formal studies on motion expression, Aurnague, Michel and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 141–177 | Chapter
The chapter deals with the lexical coding of manner of motion in French. A twofold aim is pursued: to provide a better understanding of what manner is from the semantic point of view and to determine what makes some motion verbs express manner and others not. First, I show that there are five types… read more
2019 Motion verbs and evaluative morphology The Semantics of Dynamic Space in French: Descriptive, experimental and formal studies on motion expression, Aurnague, Michel and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 179–215 | Chapter
This chapter addresses the issue of the interaction between evaluative morphology and the semantics of dynamic space in French by exploring the possibilities of constructing evaluative verbs from motion verbs. Previous research has suggested that motion verbs are relatively reluctant to serve as… read more
2019 Les prépositions complexes en français: Pour une méthode d’identification multicritère Les prépositions complexes dans les langues romanes, Fagard, Benjamin, José Pinto De Lima and Dejan Stosic (eds.), pp. 8–38 | Article
In this paper, we develop a new method of identification of complex prepositions, in French. We include well-known semantic and morpho-syntactic tests, and introduce a few others – together, these tests make up a multi-variable grid which we believe can help identify complex prepositions. We run… read more
2007 The prepositions par and à travers and the categorization of spatial entities in French The Categorization of Spatial Entities in Language and Cognition, Aurnague, Michel, Maya Hickmann † and Laure Vieu (eds.), pp. 71–91 | Article
This chapter shows how the semantic study of dynamic spatial prepositions par and à travers in French can contribute to the categorization of spatial entities in language and cognition. The analysis of various constraints involved by par and à travers on the nature of locating entities allows us to… read more
