  “On the linguistic encoding of motion events in Japanese: From a typological perspective”

  Abstract:

  (The aim of this presentation is twofold. First, on the basis of parallel corpus data, we systematically compare self-agentive and non-agentive motion expressions in Japanese, English, German, and Russian and elucidate variations both across and within verb-framed/satellite-framed language types. Second, we probe into the ways in which diectic information is expressed in caused-motion (agentive-motion) expressions in Japanese. While deitic path information is frequently included in self-agentive and non-agentive motion expressions in Japanese, it is largely restricted to accompanied motion (e.g., mot-te iku/kuru) in caused-motion expressions. We show that this restriction is compensated for by direct/inverse voice constructions in Japanese.)
