SEMANTIC AND CONTEXTUAL MEANINGS OF THE MOTION VERBS HWEORFAN, GAN, GANGAN, GEONGAN, GEWITAN AND STIGAN IN THE OLD-ENGLISH TEXTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the investigation of linguistic representation of the “motion event’ as part of the language conceptualization of motion in Old-English. The aim is the analysis of the motion verbs with the semantic component “go” in different situations and contexts. “Go” is chosen as the basic semantic component denoting motion from one point to another. The lexical expression of the points is also analysed. The difference in the use of these motion verbs depends on the kind of motion and the structure of the narration in a text.
