Tracing the development of &#8216;come&#8217; in Hebrew during its revival, this talk highlights yet another diachronic pathway that stems from motion: the pathway from motion to desire.  Using goal-orientation as the essential meaning component of directed motion, I offer an analysis of the internally-motivated changes in the verb&#8217;s meaning, as well as changes instigated by language contact.  The investigation supports the idea that meaning change is driven not by conventionalization of pragmatic inferences but by re-distribution of semantic content in possibly innovative syntactic configurations (Beck 2012, Beck &amp; Gergel 2015, Condoravdi &amp; Deo 2014).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Aynat Rubinstein (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)Title: Desire in motionTime: Friday, April 26, 3:30-5:00pmRoom: 32-141 Abstract: Motion verbs are famous for their tendency to undergo language change.
