A CROSS-PHONETIC EXAMINATION - ENGLISH WAY OF SPEAKING ACTION WORDS AND THEIR ITALIAN INTERPRETATIONS

Abstract

This review expects to examine the diverse manner by which Way of Talking action words are interpreted in English and Italian. Following Talmy's qualification between Satellite-outlined and Action word outlined dialects, we target showing how the semantic data passed on by these action words might be lost or advanced when changing from English into Italian. To do as such, four contemporary English books just as their Italian interpretations were considered. As indicated by our outcomes, English and Italian show a serious level of granularity in the semantic acknowledgment of Way of Talking action words. Also, inside this space, the resistance between a Satellite-outlined language like English and an Action word outlined language like Italian is by all accounts obscured, since the two dialects, as a general rule, select to conflate Way in the action word root.
