Abstract
In light of the lexicalization patterns as proposed by Talmy (1985, 1991, 2000) and Slobin’s “Thinking for Speaking” hypothesis (1991, 1996, 2000), this paper provides a review on motion event from a typological perspective. Also, a constellation of studies on the classification of Chinese in motion event typology has been presented and discussed. These works advance our knowledge of motion research, and set the stage for subsequent research on how motion expressions are understood and used in everyday communication.
