How languages describe spatial motion events has been a hotly discussed topic in recent years in cognitive linguistics and linguistic typology. Based on a large-scale experimental study of motion event descriptions in almost 20 languages, Motion Event Descriptions from a Cross-Linguistic Perspective provides new descriptions and proposals on this fascinating topic. Volume 1 discusses individual languages in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
