Previous typological studies have focused on segmentation into syntactic (Pawley 1987) or intonational units (Givo´n 1991). We argue that the correlation between such units and semantic/conceptual event representations is language-specific. As an alternative, we introduce the MACRO-EVENT PROPERTY (MEP): a construction has the MEP if it packages event representations such that temporal operators necessarily have scope over all subevents. A case study on the segmentation of motion events into macro-event expressions in eighteen genetically and typologically diverse languages has produced evidence of two types of design principles that impact motion-event segmentation: language-specific lexicalization patterns and universal constraints on form-to-meaning mapping. 000132450 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000132450 590__ $$a1.976$$b2007 000132450 591__ $$aLINGUISTICS$$b4 / 55 = 0.073$$c2007$$dQ1$$eT1 000132450 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000132450 700__ $$aEnfield,N.
