Motion verbs in Romanian: Language contact and language renewal
Résumé
Motion events and motion verbs have been extensively studied in some languages, e.g. English, German, French, Italian. In the past decades, after the pioneering studies of Talmy and Slobin, a vast literature has appeared on this subject, showing both the global adequacy and the limits of the now well-known Talmyan model, opposing Satellite-framed and Verb-framed languages. In this paper, we investigate the case of Romanian, with an elicitation study and a diachronic corpus study. Our aim is to verify the Verb-framed nature of Romanian, and measure the influence of language contact in its troubled history.
