Manner of motion refers to a type of distinct motion described by a particular verb, e.g., running, tumbling, sliding, walking, crawling, etc. Path of motion refers to the direction of the movement, e.g., movement into, out of, across, etc. These two concepts can be encoded in the verb as part of its root meaning, or in a separate particle associated to the verb (a ''satellite''). Languages are considered ''verb-framed'' or ''satellite-framed'' based on the how motion path is encoded. English verbs use particles to show the path of motion ('run into', 'go out', 'fall down'), and its verbs usually show manner of motion; thus English is a satellite-framed language. English verbs that counter this tendency are almost invariably Latin ate, such as "exit", "ascend", or "enter". s) is a verb-framed language. REFERENCES Croft, W. ''Croft Abstracts.''
