The role of Persian causative markers in the acquisition of English causative verbs
This project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in English as a foreign language by Iranian speakers. Results of translation and picture judgment task show although L2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in English, they were constrained by ...

متن کاملThe Modality of offer and Other Defeasible Causative Verbs
This paper is dedicated to verbs displaying the same ambiguity as offer in French and German. With agentive subjects, these verbs are used to denote an act performed with the intention of triggering a certain result. But this result does not have to occur for the sentence to be true, as shown by the noncontradictory continuation in (1a)-(2a). This is why we call these verbs ‘defeasible causativ...
متن کاملUnaccusative-Causative Alternations and the Dynamic Structure of Verbs
Many transitive verbs have a so-called unaccusative alternant. The existence of such alternants raises the question of how the class of verbs that exhibit this alternation can semantically be characterized. In this paper a theory is presented in which the existence of unaccusative alternants is derived from basic semantic properties that are used for an aspectual interpretation of verbs. The th...
