A typological perspective -- Directional verbs in modern Chinese dialects. A synchronic perspective -- Directional verbs in early Chinese dialects. A diachronic perspective -- Conclusion.This comprehensive study concentrates particularly on the use of a closed set of motion verbs in five of the major dialects, including Mandarin, Wú, Hakka, M?n and Cantonese. The author shows that these dialects form a continuum with some exhibiting more characteristics of a verb-framed language than the others. The phenomenon reflects the various stages of typological transformation and grammaticalization that the dialects have undergone.Empirical approaches to language typology ;volume 53.Direction in languageChinese languageDialectsChinese languageVerbTypology (Linguistics)Electronic books.Direction in language.Chinese languageDialects.Chinese languageVerb.Typology (Linguistics)495.17Yiu Carine Yuk-man1973-1048439MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463773403321The typology of motion events2476735UNINA
