Kobe Papers in Linguistics (era: associative causative)

[Eduardo Ribeiro]

Caros colegas,

Para aqueles interessados em causativos (e em voz, em geral), vale mencionar
que alguns artigos sobre o assunto estão disponíveis online como parte
dos *Kobe
Papers in Linguistics, *publicação do Departamento de Lingüística da Kobe
University, Japão (http://www.lit.kobe-u.ac.jp/linguistics/KPL/index_e.html).
Entre eles, inclui-se (uma versão de?) um dos trabalhos mencionados por
Françoise e Antoine:

Shibatani, Masayoshi and Prashant Pardeshi. "The Causative Continuum." *Kobe
Papers in Linguistics, *No. 3 Nov, 2001.

Atenciosamente,

Eduardo
