<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Could you please suggest me studies of verbs which can be both agentive and anticausative, such as the English
<i>break</i>, <i>tear</i>, and <i>open</i>. In other words, why some verbal notions are easily prone to anticausative derivation, while others, such as e.g.
<i>take</i> and <i>give</i>, are less so. How does anticausative of such verbs relates to their passive?
