Siraiki is a major but understudied Indo‐Aryan language spoken mainly in central Pakistan. Its causative system, which has never been described in detail, shows many similarities with causative systems in related modern Indo‐Aryan languages, but also differences which render it unique within this family. We provide a detailed account of causativization in Siraiki, and attempt to explain the synchronic complexity of the Siraiki data, as well as the broader variation within modern Indo‐Aryan, in diachronic terms.

“…There is also a significant body of work on the causative in South Asian languages from a range of analytical traditions (e.g., Kachru ; Masica ; Saksena ; Butt ; Bhatt & Embick ; Butt & King ; Butt, King & Ramchand ; Ramchand ). However, the specific attributes of the causative in Kashmiri have been given little more than descriptive attention (Hook & Koul , ; Syeed ; Altaha ), or addressed comparatively (Wali , ; Bhatt ; Bhatt & Embick ).…”

The Shape of the Causative Verbal Domain: Evidence from Kashmiri

The properties of the productive morphological causative traditionally understood to be suggestive of biclausality have in more recent accounts been attributed to multiple layers within the verbal domain. This paper evaluates two approaches to the causative verbal domain: one requiring multiple stacked vPs as in Harley 2008 and Folli & Harley 2007, and a second in which causation instantiates a separate causative head as in Pylkkännen 1999, 2008. Features particular to the Indic language Kashmiri, such as verbal agreement with the internal argument in ergative clauses, nominative causees, and iterated causation, provide new empirical ground for testing distinct predictions made by these two approaches. This paper ultimately argues that the CauseP approach better accounts for the facts in Kashmiri, and may also be better suited to capture parametric variation of productive causation crosslinguistically.

“…As for the event-changing operations, the causative is fairly widespread as an argument-increasing technique, while the resultative and the anticausative constitute the most common argument-reducing operations. The following examples are taken respectively from Kashmiri (7a-b) (Hook & Koul 2006), Chichewa (7c) (Dubinsky & Simango 1996), and Lithuanian (7d-e) (Geniušienė 2006…”
