Manner

Revision as of 13:52, 22 April 2009 by Fredrik (Talk | contribs)

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
smalt
bangedPAST
V
opp
opp
up
PREP
ruta
ruta
windowtheDEF
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".
