We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Message 1: SEE and CAUSE

Date: 18-Nov-2006

Subject: SEE and CAUSE
Dear all,
Still working on the fuzzy boundary between causatives and perception
verbs, I have started looking at the English SEE-construction in examples
like :
She saw him to the door
They saw her home
I'll see you to the airport
See a book through
I was wondering
1) whether there has been any in-depth work at all, in any framework, on
such constructions
2) whether there were languages exhibiting such meanings with verbs
meaning SEE or any other perception verb.
Thanks in advance, I'll post a summary if need be.
