Abstract
Motion events are concepts that occur in the world outside the mind and are often conceptualized by verbs. These events are coded in different ways in different languages. Diversity in the encoding of motion events causes the taxonomic division of languages. This research was carried out based on the representation of the semantic concepts of motion events in the Qur'anic verbs, in order to determine whether the motion events, according to what Talmy (2007) claims, are also true in relation to the Qur'anic verbs or not? In the Holy Qur’an, different types of verbs of motion are used to conceptualize abstract matters such as reward, punishment, reckoning, remembrance, etc. These concepts are sometimes expressed through modal verbs in which the path is conceptualized through the function, and sometimes the path is lexicalized in the verb itself. Satellites in the language of the Qur’an are usually expressed in the form of constructions such as prepostions or other semantic constructions related to the verb. Based on Talmy's cognitive approach, languages are divided into two groups of verb-framed and satellite-framed. In the first group, events related to force dynamics such as path, manner and cause are represented through the verb, and in the second group, they are represented in the form of an orbit around the root of the verb and through the function. The results of this research showed that the taxonomy of Qur'anic verbs is on a continuum of verb-based/satellite-framed, with an inclination of the verbs towards being satellite-framed.
