The allative marker-tα in Muyu Qiang serves the function of indicating the'goal'within spatial,social,and mental semantic domains.The marked arguments may share the same referents as the patient or recipient roles in the same event,with specific distributions influenced by verb semantics and pragmatic expressions.Comparative analysis with Zhimulin Qiang and Eastern Yi dialect reveals that the distribution of the allative marker is further related to its degree of semantic extension and the alignment rules between event participants and semantic roles.
