On the Syntactic Composition of Manner and Motion
2007This crosslinguistic study of the structure of motion predicates argues for the universal syntactic nature of the composition of manner and motion within the verbal constituent.

Thinking-for-translating of manner beyond the motion domain
Target. International Journal of Translation StudiesAbstract Typological influences on translating manner-of-motion have been extensively examined, but few studies have analyzed whether the ‘thinking-for-translating’ hypothesis extends to other semantic domains and how factors like directionality and proficiency interact with typology.

Expression of ‘Path’ with the Manner of Motion Verbs in Croatian
The conceptualization of motion at the level of a verb phrase includes several events that indicate the relationship between trajector and landmark. In this relationship, Path of motion (the direction of motion of the trajector in relation to the landmark) and Manner of motion (the way the trajector performs its motion) stand out as fundamental events.Blagus Bartolec, Goranka +1 more
