摘要本文研究了最近在位于亚马逊河流域西部边缘的66种南美洲语言中被认可的联合运动概念。在该区域，伴随运动是一种普遍而又特别复杂的现象。它在44种语言中由动词词缀实例化，其中22种显示出多个词缀的复杂系统。注意到系统的复杂程度和标记的语义内容之间的相关性。提出了两个隐含尺度：（i）主体运动>客体运动;（ii）先前运动>同时运动>随后运动。系统类型与其地理分布之间也存在相关性。这些都被认为是证据，扩散必须发挥了重要作用，在传播相关的运动在这一地区，并形成其特定的语义化妆在不同的语言。
Abstract This article investigates the recently recognized concept of associated motion in 66 South American languages located on the western fringes of the Amazonian basin. In that region, associated motion is a widespread and particularly complex phenomenon. It is instantiated by verbal affixes in 44 languages, of which 22 display complex systems of multiple affixes. Correlations are noticed between the degree of complexity of the systems and the semantic content of the markers. Two implicational scales are proposed: (i) motion of the subject > motion of the object and (ii) prior motion > concurrent motion > subsequent motion. Correlations are also observed between the types of systems and their geographical distribution. These are taken as evidence that diffusion must have played an important role in spreading associated motion in this region and shaping its particular semantic make-up in the different languages.
