Résumé En

This chapter investigates expressions of directed caused accompanied motion (directed CAM) events in Yali, a Trans New-Guinea language of West Papua, Indonesia. The most frequent strategy to express these kinds of events in Yali is to build a clause chain consisting of a TAKE verb in the medial-verb slot, and a deictically specific motion verb ('come' or 'go') as the finite verb. Less frequently, non-deictic motion verbs can occur in the finite verb slot. The chapter also discusses a second construction-here called purpose of motion construction-used to express directed CAM events, and shows how the different directed CAM expressions interact with the Yali system of differential object marking.
