[Lingtyp] Complex Source constructions (Maja Robbers)

[MARINE vuillermet]

Dear Maja,
What an interesting topic -- do you plan to conduct a systematic survey? 
I am not sure of what you mean by 'goal type verbs' (is 'come' a goal type verb in the Manambu example?), but you will find a detailed description of a biclausal source expression that involve posture verbs in Ese Ejja in this recently published paper: Source-Goal asymmetries in Ese Ejja | John Benjamins. In there I mention that Japanese and Polish can also use posture verbs in similar biclausal source constructions.

I have also submitted a paper on what the posture verbs refer to (not always the real posture of the Figure) in that biclausal construction. If you are interested, I would be happy share it, but be aware it is in French.
All the best!
Marine

Dear typologists,
I am interested in finding more examples of the following construction type, typically involving (i) a locative/Place/positional verb and (ii) one or several Goal-type verbs, both of which are combined to express a spatial SOURCE meaning, cf.:
Choctaw [Broadwell 2006: 359]
Obah-at

m-ako

aa-hikii-t

iya-h.

rain-NOM

there-CON:ACC

LOC-stand-PTCPL

go-TNS

‘The rain started off over there.’

Manambu [Aikhenvald 2008: 151, 282]
[wun-a

ta:kw

aləm

kwa-lə-k]

[wa-yakə-gur-ək]

ya-kwa

I-LK

wife

DEM.DIST+F.SG+LOC

stay-3F.SG-CPL.DS

say-throw-2PL-CPL.DS

come-IMP.3+F.SG

‘Get my wife to come from there’ (lit. ‘My wife having stayed there, you order (lit. say-throw) her: may she come’)

Abui [Kratchovíl 2007: 356]
fala

mi-a

yaa!

house

be.in-DUR

go

‘go from the house!’ (lit. ‘be in the house, go!’)

Similar patterns seem to exist, for example, in Mian and in Ò̩ko̩. Please kindly point me to further data. Also, I will be happy to learn if there is any literature specifically on this.

All the best,
Maja
