Abstract:

This volume unifies a wide breadth of interdisciplinary studies examiningthe expression of motion in Slavic languages. The contributors to thevolume have joined in the discussion of Slavic motion talk from diachronic,typological, comparative, cognitive, and acquisitional perspectives with aparticular focus on verbs of motion, the nuclei of the lexicalizationpatterns for encoding motion. Motion verbs are notorious among Slaviclinguists for their baffling idiosyncratic behavior in their lexical,semantic, syntactical, and aspectual characteristics. The collaborativeeffort of this volume is aimed both at highlighting and accounting for theunique properties of Slavic verbs of motion and at situating Slaviclanguages within the larger framework of typological research investigatingcross-linguistic encoding of the motion domain. Due to the multiplicity ofapproaches to the linguistic analysis the collection offers, it willsuitably complement courses and programs of study focusing on Slaviclinguistics as well as typology, diachronic and comparative linguistics,semantics, and second language acquisition.
