Following Talmy’s work (1975, 1985, 2000) in the domain of Motion Events, languages fall into two types according to how they lexicalize directed motion events. Talmy’s typology has led researchers to classify languages as either Satellite or verb-framed languages, although they do not fit all comfortably into this dichotomy. As a Semitic language, Tunisian Arabic is considered a verb- framed language. However, other possibilities do exist for the encoding of motion events in this language.
