The Basis for a Crosslinguistic Typology of Motion/Location, Part I. Working Papers on Language Universals, No. 9.

Talmy, Leonard

A putatively-universal, deep-semantic and -syntactic representation of motion and location is presented. The most characteristic patterns for deriving this representation to the surface in English on the one hand and in Atsugewi (a Hokan Indian language) on the other are then presented and compared.
