Citazioni

[...] a causative construction involves the specification of an additional argument, a causer, onto a basic clause. A causer refers to someone or something (which can be an event or state) that initiates or controls the activity. [...] if a causative construction is formed by derivation, it will involve the addition of a new argument in A function (the causer).
