Abstract
The conditions and constraints of intransitive verbs used as causative verbs in Old Chinese
There are quite a lot of intransitive verbs used as causative in Old Chinese. However, whether it is the situation in which intransitive verbs are used as causative or the conditions and constraints of their use as causative, they still need to be clarified. This paper is mainly aimed at these issues. This paper, on the one hand, provides an essential description of the production of the causative alternations in Old Chinese. On the other hand, it discusses what conditions and constraints intransitive verbs rely on in the production of causative forms according to the attributes of verbs and arguments, and the constraints of syntax. This paper also compares the causative form with the “shi (使)...V” construction that expresses causation in Old Chinese, and points out the similarities and differences between the two.
