Editing Verb framing (section)

==Opposition and its limitations==
Although languages can generally be classified as "verb-framed" and "satellite-framed", it is not a mutually-exclusive classification. Languages may use both strategies, as is the case in English with the Latinate verbs such as "enter", "ascend" and "exit". The existence of '''equipollently-framed''' languages has been pointed out in which ''both'' manner and path are expressed in verbs (Slobin 2004), which could be true of [[Chinese languages|Chinese]],<ref>Liang Chen, Jiansheng Guo, 2009, Motion events in Chinese novels: Evidence for an equipollently-framed language, ''Journal of Pragmatics'' 41 (2009) 1749–1766</ref> for instance.

Many[[Indigenous languages of the Americas]], such as the extinct [[Atsugewi language|Atsugewi]], do not select verbs of motion based on path or manner. Instead, verbs of motion are specific to the ''kind'' of object that is moving or being moved.<ref>Zheng, M., & Goldin-Meadow, S.
