Clause 28-a is a dependent serial verb construction in which only one of the verbs carries all the inflections, while the others are given their bare form. In this
clause, the first verb has prefix te- in tesuruq ‘asked’, the second verb lalo ‘go’ is in the
bare form, and the third verb has prefix be- in belangar ‘go to the funeral’.
Clause 29-a is a co-dependent serial verb construction by a shared argument and as such the parts of the construction depend on each other. The OBJ of the first
clause as matrix clause Ariq ‘Brother’ is the SUBJ of the second clause as subordinate
clause. The pattern of deixis verb and action verb cannot be exchanged. In other word,
deixis verb must before action verb which stating a goal. The changing position of those two makes this ungrammatical as in clause 28-b and clause 29-b.
4.1.2. Directional Serialization
Directional serial verb constructions have two semantic components, path or location related to directional meaning and manner related to motion Talmy in van Staden and
Reesink, 2008: 38.In Sasak, directional serial verb is formed by the first verb as a motion verb and second verb as a directional verb. In this case, Zwarts in Subiyanto,
2013: 91 stated that directional serial verb can be divided into three: source path, goal path, and route path.
Based on transitivity of motion serial verb, directional serial verb is divided into two kinds, motion serial verb which is formed by motion intransitive verb and motion
transitive verb. 30
Papuq lalo be-daye.
grandfather go go.to.the.north ‘Grandfather is going to the north.’
31
Jauq kanak-kanak no be-lauq endah.
take child=RED DEF go.to.the.south also ‘Bring the children to the south with you.’
In clause 30, the motion verb lalo ‘go’ is followed by a directional verb bedaye
‘go to the north’. In clause 31, transitive verb jauq ‘take’ precedes the directional verb belauq
‘go to the south’. Clause 30 and 31 are dependent serial verb constructions in which only one of
the verbs carries all the inflections, while the others are given their bare form. In this clause, the first verbs lalo
‘go’ in clause 30 and jauq ‘take’ in clause 31 are in bare form while the second verb has prefix be-.
The verbs that form directional serial verb constructions have an independent syntax. In other words, those verbs can stand alone as serial verbs in a clause, as seen in
the following clauses: 32

3-S PROJ go out walk SHe will go out walk
33
