Editing Verb framing (section)

== Manner and path ==
The ''manner'' of motion refers to a type of distinct motion described by a particular verb, such as running, tumbling, sliding, walking, and crawling. The ''path'' of motion refers to the direction of the movement, such as movement into, out of, and across. The two concepts may be encoded in the verb as part of its root meaning or encoded in a separate [[grammatical particle|particle]] associated with the verb (a "satellite"). Manner or path may also not be expressed at all.

Languages are considered ''verb-framed'' or ''satellite-framed'' based on how the motion path is typically encoded. [[English language|English]] verbs use particles to show the path of motion ("run into," "go out," "fall down"<ref>The particles "into," "out," and "down" differ in usage from the same words employed as [[prepositions]] because they indicate direction of movement as an attribute of the motion without specifying location. Together with the verb, they form a [[phrasal verb]]. When the same word is linked to a specified location (such as "run ''into'' the garden," "go ''out'' of the house," "fall ''down'' the hole"), it is a [[preposition]] introducing a prepositional phrase.</ref>), and its verbs usually show manner of motion; thus, English is a satellite-framed language. Most erbs that are exceptions in English are derived from [[Latin]] such as "exit," "ascend," and "enter."

All [[Germanic languages]] are satellite-framed languages. Accordingly, "to go out" is ''hinausgehen'' in [[German language|German]], ''uitgaan'' in [[Dutch language|Dutch]], and ''gå ut'' in [[Swedish language|Swedish]] in which ''gehen'' / ''gaan'' / ''gå'' are equivalents of "to go", and ''hinaus'' / ''uit'' / ''ut'' are equivalents of "out". In that manner, Germanic languages can form all kinds of compounds, even less manifest ones like (German) ''hinaustanzen'' "to dance out."

On the other hand, all [[Romance languages]] are verb-framed. [[Spanish language|Spanish]], for example, makes heavy use of verbs of motion like ''entrar'', ''salir'', ''subir'', ''bajar'' ("go in," "go out," "go up," "go down"), which directly encode motion path and may avoid the manner of motion or express it in a complement of manner (typically a [[participle]]): ''entró corriendo'' "he ran in," literally "he entered running;" ''salió flotando'' "it floated out," literally "it exited floating."

The terms "verb framing"and "satellite framing" are not restricted to Romance and Germanic languages, respectively. Many other languages can be assigned to one of the two systems. For example, verb framing is used in [[Turkish language|Turkish]], [[Hebrew]] and [[Arabic]] (in the last example, ''dakhala rākiḍan'' means "he entered running", with the perfect form ''dakhala'' meaning "he entered" and the participle ''rākiḍan'' meaning "running"). Satellite framing is common in [[Greek language|Greek]].

Some languages use both strategies. For example, [[Persian language|Persian]] is chiefly verb-framed but also has such compounds as ''dar-āmadan'' ({{lang|fa|درآمدن}}, "to come in") from ''dar'' ("in") and ''āmadan'' ("to come").
