2005, Shuanfan Huang, Michael Tanangkingsing, “Reference to Motion Events in Six Western Austronesian Languages: Toward a Semantic Typology”, in Oceanic Linguistics, volume 44, number 2, page 330:The typology of the wAn languages established on the basis of the results given in table 1 clearly shows that the languages each have a characteristic tendency in one direction or the other, thus necessarily tolerating exceptional strategies when one tries to work within a strictly two-way Talmyan typology.
2007, Peer F. Bundgaard, Svend Østergaard, Frederik Stjernfelt, “Meaning Construction in the Production and Interpretation of Compounds Is Schema-Driven: Conceptual Schemata and Cognitive Operations in Compound Constructions”, in Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, volume 39, number 1, pages 165–166:This difference between Danish and English supports the argument that there is a Talmyan window of attention effect in the compound: ‘skudsår’ has a window to the act and the result, gapping the instrument and the agent, whereas ‘gun wound’ has a window to the instrument and gaps the act and the agent.
2010, John Beavers, Beth Levin, Shiao Wei Tham, “The typology of motion expressions revisited”, in Journal of Linguistics, volume 46, page 335:Many languages that allow encoding possibilities ‘against’ their Talmyan type may in practice disprefer them as they are more complex than other available options.
