  in this paper, we present a corpus linguistics based approach applied to
analyzing digitized classical multilingual novels and narrative texts, from a
semantic point of view. Digitized novels such as "the hobbit (Tolkien J. R. R.,
1937)" and "the hound of the Baskervilles (Doyle A. C. 1901-1902)", which were
widely translated to dozens of languages, provide rich materials for analyzing
languages differences from several perspectives and within a number of
disciplines like linguistics, philosophy and cognitive science. Taking motion
events conceptualization as a case study, this paper, focus on the morphologic,
syntactic, and semantic annotation process of English-Arabic aligned corpus
created from a digitized novels, in order to re-examine the linguistic
encodings of motion events in English and Arabic in terms of Frame Semantics.
The present study argues that differences in motion events conceptualization
across languages can be described with frame structure and frame-to-frame
relations.
