Abstract

128
This article presents an extended typology of a part of the lexical category ‘motion verb’ in Spanish, compared to other well-known interpretations (Talmy, Aske, Jackendoff, Lamiroy, Cifuentes and Llopis, and Morimoto) which apply tests for syntacttic behaviour and/or combination possibilities with PATH-indicators. These data allow us to reflect on some combinatorial characteristics of Spanish verbs, which are not enough to justify a clear-cut categorization in terms of ‘verbs of motion’ vs. ‘verbs of manner of motion’.
