Journal Article
Gibson, H., & Belkadi, A. (2022). The development of the encoding of deictic motion in the Bantu language Rangi: grammaticalisation and change. Journal of African Languages and Linguistics, 42(2), 191-222. https://doi.org/10.1515/jall-2021-2024

The close cross-linguistic relation between the domains of space and time has been well described. The frequent emergence of Tense-Aspect-Mood (TAM) markers from deictic motion verbs in particular, has also been extensively detailed in the literature...

Deictic directionality and Space in Berber A typological survey of the semantics of =d and =nn (2015)
Journal Article

Berber languages use the directionals = d and = nn to specify the deictic path of motion verbs. These clitics occur with a range of verbs from other semantic classes (eg, change of state verbs, verbs of vision and perception), with which they can be...
