<p>Dear all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It was suggested to me that grammaticalization of the verb 'take' to a causative marker is typologically unusual, and indeed, apart from the mention of Twi and Nupe (in Kuteva et al. 2019 and sources cited therein) and Fon (Lefebvre 1991) I have found little
to no information on languages where this has happened... Would any of you know any other languages and could point me towards publications I could cite?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>And related to this, I have been even less successful at finding languages where the verb for 'to stand' (as posture verb) has been grammaticalized to function as a marker for ingressive - if you know of any, would you be so kind to point me to any publications?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Many thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Claudia<o:p></o:p></p>
