Abstract:

This volume investigates the linguistic expression of directed caused
accompanied motion events, including verbal concepts like BRING and TAKE.
Contributions explore how speakers conceptualise and describe these events
across areally, genetically, and typologically diverse languages of the
Americas, Austronesia and Papua. The chapters investigate such events on the
basis of spoken language corpora of endangered, underdescribed languages and
in this way the volume showcases the importance of documentary linguistics for
linguistic typology. The semantic domain of directed caused accompanied motion
shows considerable crosslinguistic variation in how meaning components are
conflated within single lexemes or distributed across morphemes or clauses.
The volume presents a typology of common patterns and constraints in the
linguistic expression of these events. The study of crosslinguistic event
encoding provided in this volume contributes to our understanding of the
nature, extent and limits of linguistic and cognitive diversity.
