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".
