This volume is the first book-length presentation of the
grammatical category of Associated Motion. It provides a framework
for understanding a grammatical phenomenon which, though present in
many languages, has gone unrecognized until recently. Previously
known primarily from languages of Australia and South America,
grammatical AM marking has now been identified in languages from
most parts of the world (except Europe) and is becoming an
important topic in linguistic typology. The chapters provide a
thorough introduction to the subject, discussion of the relation
between AM and related grammatical concepts, detailed descriptions
of AM in a wide range of the world's languages, and surveys of AM
in particular language families and areas.
