Papuq saq tedem te-lungkup.
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
Nie eaq lalo sogol lampaq
3-S PROJ go out walk SHe will go out walk
33
Tiang ndek be-daye be-lauq be-bat be-timuq
1-S NEG to the north to the south to the west to the east I am not go to the north to the south to the west to the east
The examples of directional serial verb of Sasak above have a similarity with the semantic types of serial verb cross-linguistically, as stated by van Staden and
Reesink.Van Staden and Reesink 2008: 38 who mentioned that constructions with an intransitive verb are followed by a directional verbs, it is the only argument of the first
verb that moves in a particular direction. Sasak has independent serialization of an intransitive verb and a direction verb as seen in clause 30 and clause 31.
