Path Under Construction: Challenges Beyond S-Framed Motion Event Construal in L2 German
The encoding of motion events is known to be challenging for second language (L2) users, particularly if the lexicalization patterns of their first language (L1) diverge from those of the L2. This paper analyzes oral and written motion event descriptions

Spatial Encoding in Persian: The Expression of Motion Events by Persian Native Speakers [PDF]
Following Talmy’s classification of world languages in to two-category of verb-framed (V-language) and satellite-framed (S-language) that distinguishes between languages in terms of their encoding patterns of motion events, there has been a lot of ...

Delimitedness and trajectory-of-motion events [PDF]
The first part of the paper develops a novel, sortally-based approach to the problem of aspectual composition. The account is argued to be superior on both empirical and computational grounds to previous semantic approaches relying on referential homogeneity tests.

Motion events in Chantyal [PDF]
Empirical investigation of spatial reference in the languages of the world reveals a much more complicated picture. While there are certainly some similarities in spatial reference across languages, there are also deep differences. In this paper, the author presents a description of motion events in Chantyal from the perspective of the by-now-familiar ...

Principles of Event Segmentation in Language: The Case of Motion Events [PDF]
We examine universals and crosslinguistic variation in constraints on event segmentation. Previous typological studies have focused on segmentation into syntactic (Pawley 1987) or intonational units (Givón 1991). We argue that the correlation between such units and semantic/conceptual event representations is language-specific.
