Toward a Typology of Causative Constructions
JAE JUNG SONG

This study provides cross-linguistic data to substantiate the typology
of causative contructions on the basis of which a diachronic model of
causative affixes has been proposed in Song [Lingua 82:151-200(1990)].
Three types of causative contructions are identified and exemplified:
the compact type, the AND type and the PURP type. The study closes
with a diachronic question whether the semantic neutralization of the
purpose markers occurs initially in causatives.
