| Summary |
This work examines the cross-linguistic expression of changes of location or state. It is based on the idea that languages encode information either on the verb or on a non-verbal element such as an affix or preposition. It focuses principally on Latin, with important comparisons drawn with other language families, particularly Slavic |
