This chapter proposes a typology of expressions of directed caused accompanied motion (directed CAM): it introduces and defines this semantic domain, presents the corpus-based methodology used by the authors of this volume, and gives an overview of the results. It shows that directed CAM… read more
2022 Directed caused accompanied motion events in Saliba-Logea Caused Accompanied Motion: Bringing and taking events in a cross-linguistic perspective, Margetts, Anna, Sonja Riesberg and Birgit Hellwig (eds.), pp. 147–185 | Chapter
This chapter describes the encoding of directed caused accompanied motion events (‘directed CAM’) in Saliba-Logea, an Oceanic language of Papua New Guinea. The description is based on analysing patterns in spoken language data. Saliba-Logea expressions of directed CAM are generally… read more
2022 Cross-linguistic patterns in the lexicalisation of bring and take Studies in Language 46:4, pp. 934–993 | Article
This study investigates the linguistic expression of bring and take events and more generally of the semantic domain of directed caused accompanied motion (‘directed CAM’) across a sample of eight languages of the Pacific and the Americas.

2019 Expressing possibility in two Oceanic languages Studies in Language 43:3, pp. 628–667 | Article
In this paper, we offer the first detailed description of expressions of possibility in the Oceanic languages Daakaka and Saliba-Logea.

Valence and transitivity in Saliba-Logea can be described with reference to three structural levels, the root, the verb and the clause. Phenomena like clauses with both transitive and intransitive features, which are found across the Oceanic language group can be explained through different… read more
