Human locomotion in languages: Constraints on moving and meaning
2014
Journal of Memory and Language
To help understand what constrains word meaning and how variation arises, we examined name choices in English, Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese for 36 instances of human locomotion. ...
These findings, considered along with naming patterns from other domains, suggest recurring principles of constraint and variation across domains. ...
