Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
allow me to bother you again with a terminological question. (I have
a hope that one or another of these little problems that pop up in
my work may be of interest to others, and the terminological
solutions may then be adopted).<br>
<br>
In Cabecar grammaticography, I have overused the term family 'orient
- oriented - orientation'. I am looking for substitutes. One context
in which I hope for an equivalent or even better term is motion
verbs. Consider this Spanish example:
<ol>
<li><i>entrar </i>'move in',<i> salir</i> 'move out', <i>subir </i>move
up',<i> bajar</i> 'move down', etc.</li>
<li><i>saltar</i> 'jump', <i>nadar</i> 'swim', <i>ambular</i>
'wander' etc.</li>
</ol>
The semantic and syntactic difference between these two sets has
been well-known at least since the work by Leonard Talmy. I have
followed other authors in naming them 'oriented motion' vs. 'manner
of motion'.. Now I want to get rid of the word <i>oriented</i>
here. What else have verbs such as those of series 1 been called?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your help,<br>
Christian<br>
<br>
PS: Should anybody be interested, I am, of course, ready to reveal
the other uses of the above term family.
