While the Talmian dichotomy between satellite-framed and verb-framed languages has been amply studied for motion events, it has been less discussed for locative events, even if Talmy considers these to be included in motion events. This paper discusses such locative events, starting from the significant cross-linguistic variation among Dutch, French, and English. Dutch habitually encodes location via cardinal posture verbs (CPVs; ‘SIT’, ‘LIE’, ‘STAND’) expressing the orientation of the Figure, French prefers orientation-neutral existence verbs like être ‘be’ and English – unlike for motion events – straddles the middle with a marked preference for be but the possibility to occasionally rely on CPVs. Through the analysis of recognition performances and gazing behaviours in a non-verbal recognition task, this study confirms a (subtle) cognitive impact of different linguistic preferences on the mental representation of locative events. More specifically, they confirm the continuum suggested by Lemmens (2005, Parcours linguistiques. Domaine anglais (pp. 223–244). Publications de l’Université St Etienne.) for the domain of location with French on the one extreme and Dutch on the other with English in-between, behaving like French in some contexts but like Dutch in others.

以不同的方式看待方位事件：语言偏好的认知影响

虽然卫星框架语言和动词框架语言之间的塔尔米亚二分法已针对运动事件进行了充分研究，但对于方位事件的讨论却较少，即使塔尔米认为这些包含在运动事件中。本文从荷兰语、法语和英语之间显着的跨语言差异开始讨论此类方位事件。荷兰语习惯性地通过表示图形方向的基本姿势动词（CPV；“坐”、“躺”、“站”）来编码位置，法语更喜欢方向中性的存在动词，例如埃特雷“be”和英语——与运动事件不同——横跨中间，具有明显的偏好是但偶尔也有可能依赖 CPV。通过对非语言识别任务中的识别表现和注视行为的分析，本研究证实了不同语言偏好对方位事件心理表征的（微妙）认知影响。更具体地说，他们证实了 Lemmens 提出的连续体（2005，语言学研究。英国庄园（第 223-244 页）。Publications de l'Université St Etienne.）对于位置域来说，一个极端是法语，另一个极端是荷兰语，中间是英语，在某些情况下表现得像法语，但在其他情况下像荷兰语。
