This chapter offers an analysis of non-directed and directed motion verbs from aframe semantics perspective through exploring the semantic description and syntactic realisation of the frame elements of several semantic frames in FrameNet.The study is focused on the conceptualisation and syntactic expression of the elements of the route along which motion occurs: Goal (the final part of the route),Source (the initial part of the route) and Path (the middle part of the route) inEnglish and Bulgarian by studying the syntactic expression of the correspondingframe elements in FrameNet. The research questions explored in the chapter dealwith the prominent aspects in the semantics of the verbs evoking a particular semantic frame, the syntactic expression of the relevant frame elements, syntacticexplicitness and implicitness. The empirical evidence provided by the FrameNetcorpus is compared with a sample of annotated Bulgarian examples. The observations made throughout the chapter are brought in the perspective of linguistichypotheses put forward in the literature: in particular, the goal-over-source hypothesisand the proposal that motion verbs tend to co-occur with expressionsthat align with the part of the trajectory of motion that is most prominent in theirsemantics.
