On the Virtual Displacement Characteristics and Semantic Evolution of the"Kan"Type of Dynamic Expressions
In this paper,the"kan"type of dynamic expressions in modern Chinese is viewed as fictive motion expression,classified,and analyzed from the constituent elements of the Talmy's motion event framework,which breaks through the previous studies that focus on the two types-"kan qilai"and"kan shangqu"but ignore other"kan"types of dynamic expressions.And the study also tries to interpret the semantic evolution of the"kan"type of dynamic expressions and the connection between the constituent elements of highlighted different displacement paths from a cognitive perspective to have a more comprehensive understanding of the"kan"type.
