要旨:
There have been opposing views on the possibility of a relationship between motion
event encoding and the size of the path verb lexicon. Özçalışkan (2004) has proposed
that verb-framed and satellite-framed languages should approximately have
the same number of path verbs, whereas a review of some of the literature suggests
that verb-framed languages typically have a bigger path verb lexicon than satelliteframed
languages. In this article I demonstrate that evidence for this correlation can
be found through phylogenetic comparative analysis of parallel corpus data from
twenty Indo-European languages.
