Distinguishing Between Manner of Motion and Inherently Directed Motion Verbs Using a High-dimensional Memory Space and Semantic Judgments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Levin (1993) has proposed a semantic distinction between two types of motion verbs: manner of motion verbs and inherently directed motion verbs. In contrast, Jones (1995) has argued that this distinction is better accounted for by syntactic principles. Two simulations are presented that demonstrate that verb representations from the Hyperspace Analogue

Verbs of inherently directed motion in two different modality languages, eurpean portuguese and LGP : some typological reflections

open access: yes, 2018
In the chapter we analyse two verbs of inherently directed motion such as ir go and vir come in two different modality languages EP (European Portuguese) and LGP (Portuguese Sign Language), in order to discuss their main properties. We show that Romance languages, and Portuguese in particular, are not only verb-framed in the way they express motion and

Pseudo-reflexive constructions with deadjectival and inherently-directed motion verbs in Japanese

open access: yesPseudo-reflexive constructions with deadjectival and inherently-directed motion verbs in Japanese
This study investigates the semantics of deadjectival and inherently-directed motion verbs with the interpretation of degree achievement in Japanese, which can project not only intransitive constructions but in certain cases transitive constructions as well with basically the same semantics. The transitive constructions formed with those types of verbs
