. General statement e patterns that one can nd in the linguistic representation of motion events have been a target of extensive research in recent years. Motion is a ubiquitous phenomenon in our daily lives, and human language has universally developed devices for describing it. Crosslinguistic studies of patterns of the representation of motion events have revealed commonalities and variations across languages. e starting point of this trend of research is Len Talmy’s proposals concerning the linguistic typology of motion event representation (Talmy 1985, 1991, 2000, 2009, 2012, 2016), which have been discussed extensively in the literature over the years (eg. Slobin 1996, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2017; Matsumoto 1997, 2003, 2017a, d, 2018; Wälchli 2001; Kopecka 2004; Hickmann and Hendricks 2006; Filipović 2007; Bohnemeyer et al. 2007; Zlatev 2007; Ibarretxe-Antuñano 2009, 2017; Croft et al. 2010; Beavers et al. 2010; Goschler and Stefanowitsch 2013; Fagard et al. 2013, 2017; Levin and Rappaport Hovav 2013; Blomberg 2014; Ibarretxe-Antuñano and Hijazo-Gascón 2015; Kawachi 2016; Fortis and Vittrant 2016). In this volume, we bring forward new perspectives on motion event descriptions in light of a broader range of data involving different kinds of motion events hitherto understudied. Motion as an external event is de ned as the change of location of an entity relative to some other entity (the case of “translocative” motion in Blomberg (2014)). Based on the speaker’s mental representations of such events, linguistic expressions are formed. Most works in this eld of research have centered on sentences with a moving entity expressed as the subject and with Manner and Path of motion described in a single clause (eg Carey is running down the hill). Descriptions of motion events, however, often include more information, such as the speaker’s perspective on the scene (eg ey came running in).
