<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">This workshop aims to bring together scholars addressing topics related to spatial (a)symmetries in the expression of motion events (e.g., source- vs. goal-oriented
motion, fast vs. slow motion, itive vs. ventive orientation). Topics include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">- structural, semantic, and discursive manifestations of spatial asymmetries in the expression of motion events;
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">- the relation between Slow vs. Fast motion and Source-oriented vs. Goal-oriented motion in (i) the conflation of fine-grained semantic components of Path and
Manner in verbs, and (ii) the semantic congruence and co-occurrences of Slow vs. Fast motion expressions and Source vs. Goal expressions;
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">- the relation between deictic expressions, itive (centrifugal) vs. ventive (centripetal) and Source-oriented vs. Goal-oriented motion in terms of combinations
and language use; <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">- diachronic changes in motion verb lexicon and/or grammatical systems, specifically concerning the evolution of spatial (a)symmetries over time and their interaction
with various semantic features linked to the description of space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">We invite submissions that investigate both well described and less studied languages using different methods and data sources (e.g., field data, text and corpus-driven
data; experimental and stimulus-based data), and including spoken and/or written modality.
