The morphological-to-analytic causative continuum in Hausa : New insights and analyses in a typological perspective.
Over the last few decades, linguists have devoted considerable attention to both homogeneity and variation in the expression of causal events across languages. However, most studies, whether typological or language-specific, have focused on the category of morphologically overt (e.g.,?lie/lay X down...

| Sumario: | Over the last few decades, linguists have devoted considerable attention to both homogeneity and variation in the expression of causal events across languages. However, most studies, whether typological or language-specific, have focused on the category of morphologically overt (e.g.,?lie/lay X down?) causatives, rather neglecting complex periphrastic (e.g.,?get X to lie down?) formations. The present study addresses this imbalance by elucidating a wide spectrum of causative expressions in Hausa (Chadic/Afroasiatic), supported by a strong cross-linguistic perspective. 0It systematically explores, for the first time in an African language, the key design features that distinguish the two mechanisms. |
