Abstract: This article analyzes the translation strategies for adlative motion events with boundary crossing, focusing on the manner and path in satellite-framed (S) and verb-framed (V) languages. Building on Leonard Talmy’s lexicalization theory and Slobin’s ‘thinking-for-translating’ framework, the study examines the translations of the novel The Hunger Games from English (S-language) into German (S-language), Spanish, and Catalan (V-languages). The analysis highlights how the typological differences of each language affect the representation of these events, revealing significant variations in the strategies employed by translators. The findings offer deeper insights into the relationship between linguistic typology and the translation of motion events, emphasizing the cognitive-linguistic implications for translators.
