A vast body of typological, contrastive, and psycholinguistic research has shown the potential, but also the limitations of the original distinction between verb-framed and satellite-framed languages. This volume contains ten original papers focusing specifically on the variation and change of motion event encoding in individual languages and language families. The authors show that some of the central claims about motion event encoding need careful re-examination and reformulation and that individual languages and language families are more variable across space and time than even a refined typology could neatly capture at this time. The volume thus contributes to a more detailed and fine-grained foundation for the investigation of conceptual causes and consequences of different motion-event encoding strategies. 41 11 14 2013 11 1 2013 9789027223951 9789027270948 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/hcp.41 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027270948 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027270948.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/hcp.41/html
