| Description | The paper demonstrates that the character of the path is linked in principled ways to the semantics of the motion verb (in terms of its graduality, scalarity and boundedness) and to the semantics of the path phrase (the character of the path is determined by the semantics of the preposition and the semantics of the nominal expression). |
