This is sometimes found in languages that shift from a case system to a prepositional system, often because of language contact, and it could be transitional. It happened in a number of Romani dialects, and also elsewhere. Nit only with motion verbs, by the
way. I have the impression that this is what happened with Persian as well. When I get home, I can find you some references. </div>

<b>Emne:</b> [Lingtyp] Double marking of the goal argument</font>
<div> </div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is anyone aware of a language where the goal in a motion event is doubly marked? This happens in colloquial Persian:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(1) <i>Ta xune=ro tu 20 </i>dæqiqe<i> dæv-id-æm</i>.</div>
<div> until house=POSP in 20 minute run-PST-1SG</div>
<div> 'I ran the distance to the house in 20 minutes.' </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The goal is marked once by the preposition and once with the postposition RA, which is basically an object maker in Modern Persian. The given example is also possible without RA, as in (2). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(2) <i>Ta xune 20 </i>dæqiqe<i> dæv-id-æm</i>.</div>
<div> until house 20 minute run-PST-1SG </div>
<div> 'I ran toward the house for 20 minutes.' </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
