Abstract

This paper reconstructs the internal and external event integration model with its hierarchy based on the deconstructing review of its research represented by the single clause with the verb complex consisting of the verb and the satellite. This hierarchical event integration model not only demonstrates how the conceptual primitives are internally integrated into the verb or into the satellite respectively, but also exhibits how the mapping and projecting slots are externally fused between the primitives in the verb and the satellite. The working process of the hierarchical event integration model can share lights with the study of lexicalization, constructionalization, and grammaticalization across different languages in the future.

Highlights

  • Event integration, as a basic cognitive processing model of the world conceptualized by human beings, is a hot topic discussed in cognitive science especially in cognitive linguistics from different theoretical perspectives (Talmy, 2000a, 2000b; Goldberg, 2006; Fauconnier & Turner, 1998, 2002; Langacker, 1987, 1991, 2005, 2008; Givón, 2001; Pustejovsky, 1991a, 1991b, 1995, 2011; Li, 2018, 2020; etc.)
