Chapter 14 Event Structure and the Japanese Indirect Passive
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a consensus among researchers working on causation and causative constructions that the causal relation encoded in the meaning of a verb is decomposed into two events e1 and e2, such that e2 is temporally and causally dependent on e1 (Shibatani 1976; Dowty 1979; Pustejovsky 1991, among many others). Within the generative lexicon theory (Pustejovsky 1995), the causative verb break is assumed to exhibit the event structure and qualia structure as shown in (1).
