The linguistic descriptions of motion events have fascinated many researchers because of their complexity, universality, and variation (e.g., Talmy 1985, 2000; Slobin 2004). In spite of many dedicated studies, however, there are many aspects of the event that have not been explored. This conference is a forum for discussing such neglected aspects of motion-event descriptions. This year, we will have a session on deixis, one of the areas in which research has only recently focused on.
We welcome proposals for presentations on any of the topics related to motion events, especially those addressing issues of deixis in motion-event descriptions. We accept abstracts for both oral and poster sessions.
