Accommodating path and manner in the lexical aspect of iconic words
Abstract
Previous approach to aspect Key insights by Toratani (2024), following from Talmy (2000)• most iconic words involve a change between two states • event is resettable or not • event occurs 1 or n or many times • event is bounded or unbounded Toratani is in the right direction with Talmy, but it's still quite language-particular (Japanese) and misses out on incorporating manner as well.
