This study deals with the semantic nature of the motor actions of Mazandaran language by emphasizing the dominant pattern for distributing information related to the way and movement, how to represent multiple information of the path and multiple information of the method.

The 140 body verbs of this study include 39 simple verbs, 57 simple verbal verbs and 44 simple functional verbs.
