TY - JOUR TI - Espace dans les sens abstraits de deux verbes de mouvement descendre et tomber AU - Cholewa, Joanna TI - Espace dans les sens abstraits de deux verbes de mouvement descendre et tomber AB - Space in abstract meanings of two French motion verbs: ‘descendre’ and ‘tomber’ In this paper, we provide a semantic study of the space in abstract meanings of two French motion verbs, which both are marked by vertical orientation and downstairs direction: ‘descendre’ and ‘tomber’. The examples are divided on three groups, depending on the presence / absence of elements of the space: 1) defined space, 2) partially inferred space, 3) totally inferred / non pertinent space.
