Abstract:

This volume proposes a novel structural analysis for causative constructions,
offering a solution for the long-standing mono/bi-clausal dualism. Causatives
are claimed to instantiate a ‘complex object’ construction, insofar as the
causee is not only the subject of the lexical verb, but also a participant
that is related to the whole event. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the
realization of causatives implies a crucial interplay with the pseudo-relative
construction, a much-debated structure as well. Data from Scandinavian
languages are highlighted, through the results of an experimental test on the
scope of negation and adverbs supporting the present analysis. The book offers
a cross-linguistic perspective as it discusses the relevant constructions in
languages including Italian, English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.
