Fictive motion in modern Persian within the framework of cognitive semantics

This paper tries to implement Talmy's (2000) model of fictive motion in the Persian language to investigate incipiently to what extent this model of fictive motion events is applicable in the Persian language and secondarily to inspect the semantic constituents of fictive motion sentences. Ther...
