defining typology of ardelani dialect of kurdish languagebased ‎on talmy model on motion events

This paper investigates the conflation of ldquo;path rdquo; conceptual semantic in motion events in the centralkurdish (sorani) language, ardelani dialect, in light of talmy notions in this regard. according to talmy, in each motion event, four main elements i.e. ldquo;figure rdquo;, ldquo;ground rdquo;, ldquo;path rdquo; and ldquo;motion rdquo; are involved. these conceptual meanings can be lexicalized either on ldquo;verb root rdquo; or on ldquo;satellite rdquo;. by considering a conceptual meaning like ldquo;path rdquo; and investigating the surface element that shows it, we can define the typology of languages as ldquo;verbframed rdquo; or ldquo;satelliteframed rdquo;. in this paper, after analyzing sample sentences containing ldquo;path rdquo; concept, in addition to showing the way this concept is lexicalized in kurdish, we would define typology of ardelani dialect among indoeuropean languages. data used in this paper is a selection of 23 sentences extracted from a corpus of 890 sentences containing motion event that have lexicalized path concept. these sentences have been produced by 18 different native ardelani speakers in three different groups.
