Manner
The manner in which motion events are carried out can tell us something about the speed and intensity of the motion.
Example:
Han smalt opp ruta
| Han |
| han |
| he3SG |
| N |
| smalt | |
| smal | t |
| bang | edPAST |
| V | |
| opp |
| opp |
| up |
| PREP |
| ruta | |
| rut | a |
| window | theDEF |
| N | |
'smalt' would here mean that there is a much higher intensity in the way in which in window is opened, than if it just said "He opened the window".
