This important new research, based on a data base of more than 600 languages, not only investigates fully the richness and variety of causative types, but also presents an alternative perspective to the traditional typological approach. The new typology enables a better understanding of how the human mind cognizes causation and how this is reflected in language. \u003ci\u003eCausatives and Causation\u003c\/i\u003e is also an important attempt to integrate language typology with diachrony by constructing a diachronic model of causative affixes on the basis of this new typology. Drawing on the theoretical insight of Role and Reference Grammar, this book provides a case study of the causative constructions in Korean, providing additional support for both the proposed new typology and the diachronic model. It also examines the pragmatic foundations of causatives, an important but previously unexplored area of study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jae Jung Song\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0582289181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780582289185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.49w x 0.77d","brand":"Jae Jung Song","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946801070335,"sku":"9780582289185","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_47bfc7c7-41c3-4434-908e-ff00abcf8abb.jpg?v=1681515228","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/causatives-and-causation-jae-jung-song-9780582289185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
