Abstract:

This book is a corpus-based description and discussion of how Modern Mandarin
Chinese encodes motion events, with a focus on how the distribution of verbal
motion morphemes is closely associated with the meanings they lexicalize. The
book is not only the first work that proposes a finer-grained classification
and diagnostics of Chinese motion morphemes from the perspective of scale
structure, but also the first to more comprehensively account for the ordering
of Chinese motion morphemes. The findings of this study will not only enrich
the literature on motion events, but more importantly, further our
understanding of the nature of motion events and the way motion events are
conceived and represented in the Chinese language. The major proposals and the
cognitive functional approach of this work will also shed light on studies
beyond motion. The book will be a valuable resource for scholars interested in
motion events, syntax-semantic interface, and typology.
