Among the appearances of fictive motion, there are the cases which don`t have motion verbs though they present motion. And fictive motion with motion verbs can be divided into two categories, one for tangible objects and the other for intangible objects. As a result, fictive motion can be classified into three categories, fictive motion without motion verbs, fictive motion with motion verbs for tangible objects and fictive motion with motion verbs for intangible objects. The purpose of this study is to search for the cognitive mechanisms of these three different categories, After investigating them, this study will show the differences and common features of the different categories of fictive motion.
