Citazioni | We can now consider a kind of causative that involves neither a morphological process nor separate causative verbs - lexical causatives. These are of two kinds: (a) when a single lexeme can be used in either a causative or a non-causative function; and (b) when there are two unrelated forms, that appear to be in causative relation. |
