摘要语法系统在特定概念范畴中的作用是探讨语言产生过程中概念化阶段语言特异性问题的关键。本研究的重点是在何种程度上跨语言的语法手段描绘的概念在时间域（语法方面）影响事件概念化和注意力的分配时，谈论运动事件的差异。这些分析涵盖了以标准阿拉伯语、捷克语、荷兰语、英语、德语、俄语和西班牙语为母语的人，不仅涉及语言学证据，还涉及来自眼动追踪实验和记忆测试的数据。研究结果表明，运动事件的特定部分的注意方向在一定程度上与语法化手段的存在，以表示未完成体/进行体。与体语言的使用者相比，没有这种语法化体的语言使用者在谈论运动事件时更有可能采取整体观点，并注意到运动事件的端点。
Abstract The role of grammatical systems in profiling particular conceptual categories is used as a key in exploring questions concerning language specificity during the conceptualization phase in language production. This study focuses on the extent to which crosslinguistic differences in the concepts profiled by grammatical means in the domain of temporality (grammatical aspect) affect event conceptualization and distribution of attention when talking about motion events. The analyses, which cover native speakers of Standard Arabic, Czech, Dutch, English, German, Russian and Spanish, not only involve linguistic evidence, but also data from an eye tracking experiment and a memory test. The findings show that direction of attention to particular parts of motion events varies to some extent with the existence of grammaticized means to express imperfective/progressive aspect. Speakers of languages that do not have grammaticized aspect of this type are more likely to take a holistic view when talking about motion events and attend to as well as refer to endpoints of motion events, in contrast to speakers of aspect languages.
