This paper attempts to describe the semantic and syntactic features of directional constructions in Taiwanese. By a directional construction we mean a syntactic construction that denotes the movement of an object (animate and inanimate, an agent or a patient) from one L(ocation)1 at T(ime)1, to L2 at T2. By Taiwanese we mean the southern Min variety of Chinese that is spoken by more than 80 percent of the population of Taiwan. Being descriptive in nature, this paper will not make any reference to the simmilarities and differences between Taiwanese directional constructions and those of other varieties of Southern Min. Some references will be made, however, to those in Mandarin because that is the variety of Chinese for which there are descriptions of directional constructions. |
