Directed Motion at the Syntax-Semantics Interface

About this book

The study is a contribution to the analysis of the principled connections between verbal meanings and syntactic configurations. It offers an analysis of English motion verbs in relation to the directionality of motion and shows the role that the directionality of motion plays at both a semantic and a syntactic level. The analysis covers also the causal structuration of motion events.
