MARTINEZ MARTINEZ, Denisse Fiordalizo  y  ESTRADA FERNANDEZ, Zarina. VERBAL LEXICAL PATTERNS IN THE EXPRESSION OF MOTION EVENTS IN YAQUI LANGUAGE. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.80, pp.257-274.  Epub 12-Dic-2022. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n80a16.

In this work, we show that in Yaqui language it is possible to distinguish four lexical patterns: i) motion and path; ii) motion and manner; iii) motion, path and cause; and iv) motion, path and figure. Likewise, we determine that the occurrence of lexical patterns has implications in the syntactic structure of movement events, because the events with lexical patterns i), ii), and iv) have intransitive syntactic structures, where the figure corresponds to the subject of the sentence. Meanwhile, the events with a lexical pattern iii) have transitive syntactic structures, where the figure corresponds to the direct object.

Palabras clave : Yaqui language; motion verbs; motion events; lexical patterns.
