영문 초록

We argue that the way a predicate is morphosyntactically structured influences the availability of the morphological means of expressing Voice, and that the periphrasis is a last resort kicking in when the morphological means is blocked due to independently motivated morphosyntactic constraints on how verbs are structured. For all intents and purposes, the morphological causative is a single predicate, however complex it may be, and it is sensitive to the morphological constituency of the base to which it is applied. On the other hand, the periphrastic causative involves sentential embedding and is not subject to the morphosyntactic constraint. The asymmetry in terms of the agentivity of the causee and the possibility of idiomatic readings stems from this difference.
