It is argued that six out of seven ‘differences’ mentioned by Talmy are in fact similarities between the naive (linguistic) and the scientific conceptualization of forceful interaction. We have also found that one of the notions of Talmy’s Force Dynamics- the intrinsic force tendency- has no counterpart in either pre-Newtonian theories of force (Aristotle, Philoponus) or intuitive (folk) physics, richly accounted for in numerous empirical studies (e.g., Champagne et al. (1980), Larkin et al. (1980), McCloskey (1983), Halloun et al. (1985), Hammer (1995), diSessa (1988, 1993, 1996).}, type={Article}, title={Conceptual models of physics in linguistic force dynamics}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/118317/PDF-MASTER/18_Wozny.pdf}, }
