This interview is the result of a series of email exchanges with Leonard Talmy from February to May, 2005. It was designed to cover Talmy�s research career from its beginning (the linguistic representation of conceptual structure, cf. 1972, 1985, 1991, 1996, 2000ab) to present day (sign language, cf. 2003, in press; the attentional system of language, cf. forthcoming). It was divided into two main parts: (i) a general overview of Talmy�s main ideas about language and cognition, both past and future, and (ii) a detailed discussion of one of Talmy�s most widely discussed and successful areas of study: lexicalisation and typology in motion events. In this ARCL issue we publish only the latter.
