| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this project is to provide a generalization for the typological survey of how languages encode directed motion events based on degree-based semantics. Talmy (1985, 2000) discusses the typological dichotomy of Satellite-framed languages and Verb-framed languages. In the former manner is encoded as a main verb and path must be a satellite, while in the latter path is encoded as a main verb and manner must be a subordinate adjunct. Following Beavers et al. (2010), I assume that the dichotomy is due to the fact that the verb is the root and single clause-lexical category that can encode either manner or path. Since the semantics of path can be characterized in terms of an abstract representation of measurement or scales, a variety of ways to encode reaching events can be described by scalar semantics.
