(Re)thinking the rhetoric style for expressing Motion
Applicable notions for teaching Portuguese as a second language
Keywords:
Motion, Thinking-for-Speaking, Rethinking-for-SpeakingAbstract
World languages are split into two categories, based on the way each one of them encodes the semantic elements to express Motion. The speaker of those languages develops his own rhetorical style, known as Thinking-for-Speaking, which differs from the rhetorical style of speakers of other languages, especially those languages that fall into opposite categories. To circumvent language barriers in the foreign language learning process, and to communicate efficiently in the target language, it is necessary to be aware of the typological issues regarding the expression of Motion and to develop strategies to Rethinking-for-Speaking.
