Abstract

Based on data from Persian, this study argues that what I refer to here as “semi-anticausatives” behave like a canonical unmarked anticausative with respect to the agentivity tests. However, further investigation shows that they appear with a voice head. This is contrary to the previous assumption that unmarked anticausatives do not constitute a voice head (Schäfer 2008; Alexiadou et al. 2015). I argue that semi-anticausatives, among other things, may license hidden “agentive causers”.
