Toward a Typology of Causative Constructions
JAE JUNG SONG

This study provides cross-linguistic data to substantiate the typology of
causative contructions on the basis of which a diachronic model of causative
affixes has been proposed in Song [Lingua 82:151-200(1990)].
   Three types of causative contructions are identified and exemplified: the
compact type, the AND type and the PURP type. The study closes with a diachronic
question whether the semantic neutralization of the purpose markers occurs
initially in causatives.
