Abstract
Empirical investigation of spatial reference in the languages of the world reveals a much more complicated picture. While there are certainly some similarities in spatial reference across languages, there are also deep differences. In this paper, the author presents a description of motion events in Chantyal from the perspective of the by-now-familiar framework of Leonard Talmy as extended and elaborated by Dan Slobin. The author shows that while Chantyal can be classified as a verb-framed language according to Talmy’s typology, it exhibits many characteristics of typical satellite-framed languages.
