Ronald W. Langacker on Motion - Dictionary of Arguments
Gärdenfors I 9 Motion/Image/Langacker/Gärdenfors: (Langacker, 1987(1), Reprint 1999 p. 311): how can motion be shown in a picture? In Langacker's example by two lines: a) for a figure that points at an obstacle - this obstacle is mapped three times. b) the three adjacent images of the obstacle are connected by a second line for the time sequence. I 10 If this image stands for "rise", it can be easily reinterpreted into a picture for "mountaineer" without changing anything in the image. This transformation can be seen as a change in the focus. >Representation, >Image, >Interpretation, >Unambiguity, >Objects, >Abstract objects. 1. R. W. Langacker (1987).
