Wiki Version:
This OSF project page contains an elicitation tool for linguistic fieldwork investigating Associated Motion, the *Associated Motion Video Stimuli* (Boeg Thomsen & Nielsen 2020), including resources for elicitation and response coding. Under project files, you'll find: 1) The video stimuli themselves (as a coherent presentation or as individual files) 2) A detailed manual with guidelines for data collection and data analysis 3) A coding sheet aimed at facilitating the process of registering, coding and interpreting responses. **Purpose and brief description** The *Associated Motion Video Stimuli* is a video elicitation tool designed for eliciting verbal descriptions of scenes presenting combinations of foreground events (such as picking flowers or playing music) with accompanying motion events (such as coming or going), e.g. playing music while coming. If the language under investigation has Associated Motion marking, i.e. a grammatical means for specifying a motion event as background for the foreground action described by a verb, the video descriptions can be expected to offer the speakers meaningful contexts for employing it. The AMVS can be used with individual languages for the purposes of: - Verifying the presence of Associated Motion markers - Distinguishing between Associated Motion markers and directionals and elucidating the relationship between them (if relevant) - Distinguishing between motion-with-purpose markers and more broadly applicable Associated Motion markers - Examining the extensional ranges of Associated Motion markers and identifying the semantic parameters determining these extensional ranges. The AMVS can further be used across languages for the purpose of: - Obtaining comparable data on Associated Motion markers for crosslinguistic comparison. The AMVS consists of 68 short videos (length: 5-40 seconds). The set of 68 scenes is constructed as a semantic grid varying parameters previously identified as playing a role in Associated Motion systems (direction, temporal relation, moving argument, shape of path, speed) supplemented with parameters previously identified as playing a role in motion-event typology in general (boundary crossing, boundedness, vehicle, motor pattern etc.). The set also varies psychological, social and cultural parameters (intention, presence of social and cultural anchors) that have not previously received systematic attention in Associated Motion research, but helps the investigator clarify relationships with purposive constructions and determine the anchors for contrasts in deictic direction.
