Description

This paper examines the grammatical characteristics and usage of motion-verb auxiliary constructions in both Japanese and Chinese. First, we review previous studies of Japanese and Chinese auxiliary verb constructions that contain motion verbs as auxiliaries. Particular focus is placed on their affirmative and negative forms and grammatical features, such as the position of the subject of the action or the scope of negation, and on such types of sentences where the object of movement is an inanimate noun. Next, motion-verb auxiliary constructions are classified into movement, sequential, simultaneous, and pseudo-simultaneous uses.
