这项研究考察了俄语和另一种卫星框架语言--英语的运动语义域的类型内变异，并提供了证据。本研究利用俄语和英语口语叙事构成的平行语料库，对比了两种语言中运动动词的语义构成。结果表明，尽管英语因其丰富的运动方式词汇而传统上被视为典型的卫星框架语言，但俄语中的运动动词语料库在编码与运动相关的细微差别方面具有优越的语义和结构能力。在英语语料库中验证的动词是单词性的，而从俄语语料中检索的动词一致地和不同地共编码了诸如方式、路径、空间运动的单向性/非单向性以及通过不同的语义-表面关联来编码体类等类别。
The study examines and provides evidence for intra-typological variability in the semantic domain of motion in Russian and another satellite-framed language, English. By drawing on parallel corpora comprised of oral narratives in Russian and English, the study contrasts the semantic composition of motion verbs in these two languages. The results reveal that although English has traditionally been viewed as the prototypical satellite-framed language due to its rich Manner-of-motion lexicon, the verb-of-motion repertoire in Russian is superior in its semantic and structural capabilities for encoding motion-related nuances. The verbs attested in the English corpus were monomorphemic, whereas the verbs retrieved from the Russian data consistently and variedly co-encoded such categories as Manner, Path, unidirectionality/non-unidirectionality of motion in space, and aspect through diverse semantic-to-surface associations.
