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".
