Abstract
Reasoning about motion, whether for linguistic or other purposes, requires a way of representing motion events; ideally the representation we choose for a given system will make the system’s work easy and sensible, in addition to containing the needed information. Two equivalent ways of representing motion events are described and discussed with respect to the kinds of reasoning they conduce to and some effects they have on defining language about movement.
Many thanks for assistance and support to those who rad and commented on an earlier version of this paper—Gerd Herzog, Gudula Retz-Schmidt, and Wolfgang Wahlster; to Jörg Schirra for help in clarifying ideas in it: and to Brant Cheikes and the anonymous reviewers for suggestions on how to improve it.
