| description | The aim of this study is to examine the use of motion events in selected Turkish story books designed for 7 to 11 year-olds. 8 Turkish story books were selected and 223 sentences related to motion events were investigated. All the "Path", "Manner", and "Deixis" verbs used in the stories are examined and the metaphoric sentences are also noted. "Path" was found to be more silent and frequently used among others. Although the verb types of "Deixis" are low, the tokens are more than any of the "Path" or "Manner" verbs. Also, it seems that "rapid Manner verbs" can be used solely without "Path" or "Deixis" verbs, which suggests that "Path" may not be essential in motion events. Finally in this study, more than one fourth of the sentences were found metaphoric, which indicates the ability to comprehend basic metaphors such as time may be already developed before 7. |
