Research Abstract |
This study investigates how differences in event construal between Japanese and English are related to the formation of causative constructions in the two languages. A close look at the related phenomena including Japanese and English resultative constructions shows that semantic structures of causative constructions in the two languages are based on different event construal. It is also made clear that the difference in event construal is greatly involved in the different distributional patterns of Japanese and English causative constructions.
