This volume is the first book-length presentation of the grammatical category of Associated
Motion. It provides a framework for understanding a grammatical phenomenon which though
present in many languages has gone unrecognized until recently. Previously known primarily
from languages of Australia and South America grammatical AM marking has now been identified
in languages from most parts of the world (except Europe) and is becoming an important topic in
linguistic typology. The chapters provide a thorough introduction to the subject discussion of
the relation between AM and related grammatical concepts detailed descriptions of AM in a wide
range of the world's languages and surveys of AM in particular language families and areas.
