Abstract

Cross-language research on motor events shows that verbs with different structural types show different lexical granularity. In this paper, 24 separate events are analyzed by using multi-dimensional analysis and cross-language comparison between French and Romanian, which belong to the same Romance language family, to further study the relationship between lexical diversity and language typology. Whether the semantic domain of separate events manifests itself in a similar way explores how lexical diversity is driven by language types.
