Abstract:

The idea of this book on "Neglected Aspects of Motion-Event Description" comes
from the observation that, over the last 30 years, much attention has been
devoted to the manner/path divide in relation to the distinction between
Verb-Framed and Satellite-Framed languages. This mainstream focus has left
aside other aspects of motion event descriptions. The chapters of this volume
take an in-depth look at three less-studied aspects of motion expression. The
first part of the book focuses on directional deixis, especially in relation
to associated motion and visual motion. The second part explores variations in
Source-Goal asymmetries. The third part investigates different types of motion
event constructions, e.g., with various types of co-events. Many languages are
taken into consideration throughout the 11 chapters, which gives the volume a
clear typological dimension. This book is intended for students and academics
interested in motion, spatial semantics, typological variation and cognitive
linguistics.
