Developments in event conceptualisation and event integration in language and mind
This essay is the introduction to the Special Issue ‘Events in language and mind: Theoretical and empirical advances in the event integration theory’. We first review Leonard Talmy’s event integration theory in addition to some critiques of this framework. Following this, we point to some empirical research inspired by this framework, which explores the interaction between language and cognition. We then briefly introduce the papers in this volum…
Manner, result, and intention: Implications for event typology from a cognitive account of verb semantics based on fulfilment types
Verb semantics has been widely approached as a dichotomy of manner and result. However, from a cognitive perspective, manner and result are often linked by intention, as captured by the ‘fulfilment type’ property formulated in the Realisation event domain in Talmy’s event integration theory. The four ‘fulfilment types’ (intrinsic-, moot-, implied-, and attained-fulfilment) indicate different degrees of result certainty in verbs. This study invest…
Inferences about event outcomes influence text-based memory of event outcomes
Memory of event outcomes is a topic increasingly discussed in the field of event language and cognition. This study approaches how language influences memory of event outcomes from the under-explored perspective of the verb’s “fulfilment type”, a property formulated in Talmy’s event integration theory. This property indicates the extent to which verbs depict fulfilment of intentions. Through two experiments, we explored how verbs’ fulfilment type…
Family conversations about species change as support for children's developing understandings of evolution
To examine the ways that 6‐ to 11‐year‐old children's conversation with their parents support their developing understandings of evolution, 49 parent–child dyads participated in a study with two elicited discussion tasks: origins of species and potential species change. Conversational data were transcribed, coded, and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed to compare the appearance of reasoning in each type of task. Quantitative analyses revea…

English and Chinese children’s motion event similarity judgments
This study explores the relationship between language and thought in similarity judgments by testing how monolingual children who speak languages with partial typological differences in motion description (English and Chinese) respond to visual motion event stimuli. Participants were either Chinese- or English-speaking, 3-year-olds, 8-year-olds and adults (32 in each group) who judged the similarity between caused motion scenes in a match-to-samp…
Conceptualising voluntary motion events beyond language use: A comparison of English and Chinese speakers' similarity judgments
The syntactic packaging of caused motion components in a second language: English learners of Chinese
Parent–child talk about motion: Links to children’s development of motion event language
This study investigated the motion event language children and their parents engaged in while playing a board game. Children are sensitive to differences in manner and path at infancy, yet adult-like motion event expression appears relatively late in development. While multiple studies have examined how exposure to parent speech generally relates to very young children’s language, none looks at motion event language and learning in 3- to 7-year-o…
Supporting Student Learning: A Comparison of Student Discussion in Museums and Classrooms
Research indicates that school trips to informal science institutions can result in cognitive and affective gains; however, less is known about the mechanisms by which such learning may occur. This article takes a sociocultural perspective that discourse is one of the main modes of learning, and thus examines the talk that occurs among students both during a visit and during follow-up lessons in the classroom. Transcripts from students in 4 prima…
Two-year-olds' productivity with verbal inflections
Previous research has examined children's ability to add inflections to nonsense words. The current experiments were designed to determine whether children, ranging in age from 1 ; 9 to 2 ; 10 ( N =34), could demonstrate productivity by dropping verbal inflections. In Experiment 1, children added - ed and - ing to novel stems, and dropped them from novel inflected forms and did so largely appropriately. In Experiment 2, they dropped - ing from ve…
