Motion Or Duration?

the physicist	walked	from Tumbi Umbi to Kangy Angy
Actor	Process	Location: motion

the physicist	walked	from dawn to dusk
Actor	Process	Location: motion*

See Halliday & Matthiessen 2014: 565-6).  However, viewed 'from above', there is ambiguity:

Location: where did he walk? vs Extent: how far did he walk?

Location: when did he walk? vs  Extent: how long did he walk?

* The temporal construal as Location: motion — rather than as Extent: duration — is the linguistic source of the notion in physics of "travelling" through time, in the same sense as travelling through space.
