The book is not only the first work that proposes a finer-grained classification and diagnostics of Chinese motion morphemes from the perspective of scale structure, but also the first to more comprehensively account for the ordering of Chinese motion morphemes. The findings of this study will not only enrich the literature on motion events, but more importantly, further our understanding of the nature of motion events and the way motion events are conceived and represented in the Chinese language. The major proposals and the scalar approach of this work will also shed light on studies beyond motion. The book will be a valuable resource for scholars interested in motion events, syntax-semantic interface, and typology"--Provided by publisher.Studies in Chinese language and discourse ;v. 11.Mandarin dialectsVerbCognitive grammarFunctionalism (Linguistics)Mandarin dialectsVerb.Cognitive grammar.Functionalism (Linguistics)495.1/56Lin Jingxia1604536MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824715003321Encoding motion events in Mandarin Chinese3929425UNINA
