An introductory chapter by the Editor provides an overview of directions for research into posture verbs. These directions are then explored in detail in a number of languages: Dutch; Korean; Japanese; Lao; Chantyal, Magar (Tibeto-Burman); Chipewyan (Athapaskan); Trumai (spoken in Brazil); Kxoe (Khoisan); Mbay (Nilo-Saharan); Oceanic; Enga, Ku Waru (Papuan); Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara, Ngan'gityemerri (Australian). The contributors discuss data relevant to many fields of linguistic inquiry, including patterns of lexicalization (e.g., simplex or complex verb forms), morphology (e.g., state vs. action formations), grammaticalization (e.g., extension to locational predicates, aspect markers, auxiliaries, copulas, classifiers), and figurative extension. A final chapter reports on an experimental methodology designed to establish the relevant cognitive parameters underlying speakers' judgements on the polysemy of English stand. Taken together, the chapters provide a wealth of cross-linguistic data on posture verbs. 410 0$aTypological studies in language ;$vv. 51. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xVerb 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xMorphosyntax 606 $aSemantics 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xVerb. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xMorphosyntax. 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a415 686 $aET 400$2rvk 701 $aNewman$b John$f1948-$01787990 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960060503321 996 $aThe linguistics of sitting, standing and lying$94346983 997 $aUNINA
