• Resumen

  • English, a prototypical example of a Satellite-framed language (Talmy 1985, 2000), characteristically encodes manner of motion in the main verb and path in a satellite (John ran into the house). In this article I examine developments in the encoding of motion events from Old English to Late Modern English, in the light of Slobin’s (2004a) diachronic model for the emergence of manner salience; also discussed is the extent to which the shape and size of the English motion verb lexicon is a result of the specific properties of its morpholexical and morphosyntactic resources.
