As it has been demonstrated, the elaboration of manner and path is said to determine the paradigms of verb formation– paradigms which display distinct categorical variation between verb- and satellite-framed languages. The conceptualization of motion events, therefore, is said to be conceived differently by speakers of Spanish as by speakers of English as these two languages are typologically dissimilar (Spring, 2010). This notion expresses the urgency of the direct instruction of linguistic typology to L2 learners whose mother tongue and target language are typologically dissimilar. Native-like fluency in the EFL classroom, consequently, may be greatly hindered if the concept of verb construc tion is unknown to the L2 English learner. As such, the preponderance of the research within this field posits that second-language educators must learn and incorporate the concepts of linguistic typology to foster growth within the area of phrasal verbs.
