Abstract:

Human languages exhibit fascinating commonalities and variations in the ways
they describe motion events. In this volume, the contributors present their
research results concerning motion event descriptions in the languages that
they investigate. The volume features new proposals based on a broad range of
data involving different kinds of motion events previously understudied, such
as caused motion (e.g., kick a ball across) and even visual motion (e.g., look
into a hole). Special attention is also paid to deixis, a hitherto neglected
aspect of motion event descriptions. A wide range of languages is examined,
including those spoken in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The results provide new
insights into the patterns languages deploy to represent motion events. This
volume will appeal to anyone interested in language universals and typology,
as well as the relationship between language and thought.
