Lowe, John J. & Birahimani, Ali H.: The Argument Structure of Siraiki Causatives
We present data from Siraiki, an understudied modern Indo-Aryan language. Siraiki has two productive morphological causatives, as well as other causative formations. We present the Siraiki data, and develop an analysis within LFG’s Mapping Theory. We aim to show that the differences between causativization of intransitive and of transitive verbs can be accounted for without having to assume two homophonous variants of each causative morpheme.
