| summary | In this talk, I investigate cross-linguistic evidence for the functional extension of verbal and non-verbal spatial markers (SM), such as verbal directional, associated motion (AM) or locational markers or non-verbal spatial adpositions, into applicative uses (Zuniga & Creissels 2024).
Verbal SMs have only recently been established as a source for applicatives; see Van linden (2022) on Harakmbut, Payne (2021) on Nilotic and Pakendorf & Stoynova (2021) on Tungusic languages. It is still unknown how widespread this pathway is, and what the main types of variation are. This talk presents the results of a pilot study investigating these issues from a typological perspective. The first part considers various types of SMs in a balanced 75-language sample, compiled using Miestamo’s (2005) Genus-Macroarea method, while in the second part, I use a convenience sample and focus only on AM markers. |
