This paper is intended to insist that the way construction in English should be regarded as a subtype of the directional motion constructions and to analyse this construction bundled by mismatching interaction of syntax and semantics within a framework of HPSG. For this, having examined previous approaches, this paper will further precisely investigate the linguistic behaviors of the way construction with the necessity of a more accurate interpretation of the fixed phrase because its misinterpretation can make it impossible to describe the idiosyncratic properties of the way construction. This paper will suggest the construction analysis, arguing against the previous approaches like a resultative construction.
