Abstract
The concepts of motion and force are both extensively discussed in cognitive linguistics literature. But they are discussed separately. The first usually in the context of ‘motion situations’ (for example: Talmy 2000, Slobin 2003, Zlatev 2007, 2010, 2012), the other as part of the Force Dynamics frame-work, which was developed by by Talmy (1976, 1988, 2000) and adopted by, for example, Sweetser (1982, 1991), Johnson (1987), Boye (2001), Vandenberghe (2002) and Da Silva (2003). The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to argue that the concepts of force and motion should not be isolated but con-sidered as two inseparable parts of force-motion events (cf. Woźny 2013). The second goal is to prove that the modified Force Dynamics (force-motion) framework can be used to discern finer distinctions in verb complementation patterns. To this end, a random sample of 50 sentences containing the verb ‘went’ is analyzed with respect to the linguistically coded parameters of force and motion, demonstrating the differences between the categories of intensive and intransitive complementation with respect to the linguistically coded parameters of force and motion.
