The present article critically reviews Zubizarreta and Oh (henceforth, Z&O)’s (2007) work, which proposes novel syntactic treatments of the well-known “manner-motion conflation” parameter among languages such as Korean, Germanic, and Romance (Talmy (1985)) and of a serial-verb construction parameter that explains the difference between Edo and Korean. Because there has been a long tradition of lexicalist studies on these matters (Talmy (1985), Pinker (1989), Kageyama (1993), Rappaport Hovav and Levin (1998), among others), Z&O’s work is specifically examined to see if their approach is advantageous over the lexicalist approach in terms of the predictability of the parameter setting. It is shown in the present article that Z&O’s approach is actually not as explanatory as they argue—at least it is hard to conclude that their approach has been proven better.
