summaryIn this talk, I will demonstrate the different patterns of thinking   for speaking about motion that Spanish speakers and English speakers   have. Then I will discuss two studies: (1) a cross-sectional study   that compared the narrations of intermediate and advanced learners of   English as a second language with those of monolingual Spanish   speakers and native English speakers and (2) a longitudinal study   that examined how pattezrns of thinking for speaking about motion   changed linguistically and gesturally for an advanced English learner   from 1997 to 2006 in both her L1 and L2.
