Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study examined motion expression data in two typologically different languages in East Africa, Kupsapiny (Southern Nilotic, Uganda) and Sidaama (Highland-East Cushitic, Ethiopia), in particular, that I collected by means of field work. It found that motion events that are treated as macro-events differ across the languages. In either language, events expressable in single clauses are somewhat restricted, and each language does not necessarily exhibit its characteristic, typological pattern across different types of motion events. Conceivable factors to this include combinations of motion components, particularly path components expressable in specific constructions.
