The inspirations for the volume is the pioneering work on causative constructions by the Leningrad Typology Group; several of the contributors have close connections to the charter members of that group, others have appreciated this work from a distance. The volume as a whole is based on the concept of causative constructions as embracing both morphology and syntax, with an important semantic component as well. In addition to general studies concerning the morpho syntactic and semantic typology and the history of causative constructions and relations to other phenomena, the following individual languages are treated in detail: Russian, English, Dutch, Svan, Even, Korean, Yukaghir, Alutor, Aleut, Haruai, Dogon, Athabaskan languages. The volume will be of interest to typologists, to other linguists interested in causative constructions and transitivity relations, and to all who are interested in the linguistic expression of causal relations. 23 9 9 1993 4 8 2011 9789027230263 9781556193750 9789027285867 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/slcs.23 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027285867 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.23/html https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027285867.pdf Martin Haspelmath https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2100-8493 9 9 1993 4 8 2011 87 120 10.1075/slcs.23.05has https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.23.05has https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.23.05has/html
