{"pk":27119,"title":"Path salience in motion events from verbal and visual languages","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Languages differ in the way they convey paths. S-languagesconveying manner of motion directly in a main verb, while V-languages require a separate verb. This difference has beenshown to influence the conceptualization and narration ofmotion events. We therefore asked: would this difference arisein the paths that people draw, particularly in visual narratives?We annotated the representations of path information (source,trajectory, goal) in a corpus of 35 comics from S- and V-languages. We found that panels from S-languages depicted thepath of an action more often than those from V-languages,consistent with previous research on increased motion eventsalience for S-languages. These findings suggest that theconceptualization of paths from spoken language mayinfluence the graphic depiction of paths.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"visual language; motion events; linguisticrelativity; paths; attention"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/95t981hr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Neil","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cohn","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication","department":""},{"first_name":"Vivian","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wong","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication","department":""},{"first_name":"Kaitlin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Pederson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication","department":""},{"first_name":"Ryan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Taylor","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27119/galley/16755/download/"}]}
