Abstract

This paper addresses certain fundamental differences in the way that Danish, French, and Russian, respectively, lexicalize space and motion by means of what I will refer to as relocation verbs in the following; that is, verbs which do not just refer to motion, but to moving (or being moved) from one location (Loc1) to another (Loc2) as further specified in section 2. As for Danish and Russian, the differences in question will be illustrated by looking at the relocation verbs actually found in a collection of Danish and Russian LSP texts relating to the sugar industry, the so-called SugarTexts. The texts are step-by-step process descriptions telling more or less the same story; but in very different words. This tends to complicate the transfer of any information related to relocation between the respective languages, most obviously in the course of translation
