Chapter 1
Distinct coding of Deixis and Path in Kathmandu Newar
Focusing on the Kathmandu Newar language, which
is spoken in the metropolitan area of Nepal (Kathmandu valley), this
chapter discusses the coding patterns of Deixis, which have been
relatively understudied. The chapter has two principal aims. The
first is to describe how Deixis and Path are expressed in
self-motion and various subtypes of caused motion events in
Kathmandu Newar. The second is to discuss the implications of this
analysis for the typology of motion expressions. I argue that the
pervasiveness of Deixis and its distinct coding pattern in Kathmandu
Newar permits us to distinguish between Deixis and Path.
