Talmy（1985, 2000b） classifies languages into verb-framed and satellite-framed languages based on whether path is expressed in the main verb or in the satellite. The former denotes path in the main verb while the latter specifies path in the satellite. This study shows that modern Cantonese and Mandarin tend to express path in the satellite, and specifically in the directional complement. Scholars suggest that Chinese has undergone a typological shift from a verb-framed language to a satellite- framed language and the shift was completed at around the tenth century. However, this study finds that the change has not been completed and it is faster in some dialects and in some types of motion events than the others. Moreover, by studying materials compiled in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Cantonese and Mandarin, this study observes that early Cantonese and Mandarin tend to use directional verbs to denote path when their modern counterparts opt for the use of directional complements. This study further proposes that disyllabicization is an important factor underlying the typological shift. Last, this study undertakes a quantitative approach to examine the expression of path in materials of different nature in modern Cantonese and Mandarin. The statistical result illustrates that written materials reflect as much the linguistic reality as spoken language.
