... the definition of events. But there is another way of understanding this relationship: it might be the events that define the thematic roles they are associated with. We argue in favour of this approach with the complication that Talmy’s force dynamic roles should be seen as prior to both events and traditional...

...This chapter discusses listen‐class verbs and hear‐class verbs in terms of the claim that one of the building blocks of conceptual or cognitive semantics is the spatial organisation of meaning. It also explores these verbs in terms of force dynamics and theories of agency. Related...

...Force dynamics is an approach to knowledge representation that aims to describe how notions of force, resistance, and tendency enter into the representation of certain kinds of words and concepts. As a theory of causation, it specifies how the concept of cause may be grounded...

...This chapter provides an introduction to the volume and to the topics discussed in later chapters. These topics include, in the first part of the book, theories of causation, formal semantics for causal constructions, force dynamics, and modality and causation. The second half of the book looks...

Chapter 5, “Toward a force-dynamic theory of argument realization”, provides a critical survey of theories of the role of event structure in argument realization, concluding with the causal chain (force dynamic...

...“Force dynamics” is a schematic system that pertains to the linguistic representation of force interactions and causal relations occurring between certain entities within the structured situation. It was first defined by Leonard Talmy as a fundamental semantic category in the realm of physical...

... combining theories allows us to account for a wide range of phenomena, this benefit comes at a cost: when theories overlap, their predictions usually conflict. This chapter shows how Talmy’s (1988) force-dynamic theory can be extended to handle causal chains. It is shown how one particular process account...

...Force dynamics have long played a significant role in cognitive approaches to linguistic semantics. The chapter proposes that the arguments discovered by Davidson refer to forces instead of to events. A force, conceptually, is energy input into a situation. Formally, the chapter treats forces...
