“…välja jooksma 'run out'). The line between verbal particles and free adverbs is vague (see also Rätsep 1978, Veismann & Sahkai 2016, Aedmaa 2019 In the nominal sphere, nouns in Estonian can be inflected in 14 cases, including six spatial cases known as interior cases (i.e. in-cases) and exterior cases (i.e.…”

Focusing on the expression of manner and path in the ‘frog story’ narrations of Estonian native speakers, this study shows that Estonian – a morphologically rich satellite-framed Finno-Ugric language – is characterised by high manner and high path salience. Furthermore, when analysing one of the core qualities of manner – speed – we show that when the participants were asked to narrate a story as if the events developed slowly, they also spoke slowly and their stories tended to be long (both in time duration and word count) and include many details. When they were asked to tell the story as if the events developed fast, they also spoke faster and used more verbs of caused motion and verbs of vertical motion. Thus, the speed of motion in the physical world seems to be mimicked by speech rate, indicating mental simulation and iconic prosody. The exact nature of speed effects in linguistic choices for expressing motion remains to be studied in future works.

“…Tragel and Veismann (2008) studied six verbal particles and their aspectual meanings, and described how horizontal and vertical dimensions are represented. Veismann and Sahkai (2016) investigated the prosody of Estonian PVs, finding PVs expressing perfectivity the most problematic to classify.…”

This paper presents two novel datasets and a random-forest classifier to automatically predict literal vs. non-literal language usage for a highly frequent type of multi-word expression in a low-resource language, i.e., Estonian. We demonstrate the value of language-specific indicators induced from theoretical linguistic research, which outperform a high majority baseline when combined with languageindependent features of non-literal language (such as abstractness).
