8. Causative and perception verbs
-
Marie Labelle
Abstract
In Romance languages, causative and perception verbs are found in a biclausal Exceptional Case Marking (ECM) construction and in two monoclausal faire faire constructions, faire-infinitive (FI) and faire-par (FP). The present chapter describes these constructions and discusses the main avenues of analysis. Cross-linguistic differences are pointed out.
