Event Integration Patterns in 'Alle *

1.1 Talmy’s typological framework on event integration The typology of event integration presented by Talmy (2000) is based on his finding of the macro-event that “can be conceptualized as composed of two simpler events and the relation between them... —perhaps universally—also amenable to conceptualization as a single fused event and, accordingly, to expression by a single clause” (Talmy 2000:213). His study has revealed how event complexes are conflated into a single clause or even a single verb in the MOTION expressions, and now this has been extended to analyse other types of event complexes, namely, STATE CHANGE, REALIZATION, TEMPORAL CONTOURING, and ACTION CORRELATING. According to Talmy’s typological framework, “languages fall into two typological categories on the basis of where they characteristically express the schematic core of the event complex—in the verb or in a satellite to the verb” (Talmy 2000:213). To illustrate this idea better, see the following example. The example (1) is a pair of sentences meaning that the bottle moved into the cave with the manner of floating. (1a) is an example of English, and (1b) is of Spanish.
