Description | This paper investigates a class of Czech denominal spatial verbs, which are formed by incorporation. Examples include verbs such as ustájit (koně) 'to put a horse in the stable, lit. to stable a horse', vytapetovat (pokoj) 'to decorate the room with wallpaper, lit. to wallpare the room'. The goal is to characterize the verbs by means of the cognitively-semantic notions of Figure and Ground. I show that these notions create a bifurcation of such verbs into two classes depending on which category the incorporated noun belongs to. The collected data are classified further by a number of tests. |
