[Lingtyp] orientation

[Christian Lehmann]

Dear colleagues,

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).

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:

 1. /entrar /'move in',/salir/ 'move out', /subir /move
    up',/ bajar/ 'move down', etc.
 2. /saltar/ 'jump', /nadar/ 'swim', /ambular/ 'wander' etc.

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 /oriented/ here. What else have verbs 
such as those of series 1 been called?

Thank you very much for your help,
Christian

PS: Should anybody be interested, I am, of course, ready to reveal the 
other uses of the above term family.
