This book presents a contrastive analysis of causative constructions in Japanese and English. In view of the title, both syntactic and semantic aspects regarding causative constructions are taken into account, the discussion of the semantic aspects preceding however the analysis of the syntactic behavior of causatives. The reason for that lies, in my opinion, in the impossibility of describing the syntax of causatives accurately without resorting to their semantic properties first.
The causee.
In the causative situation, the causee represents the medium through which the causer performs the action resulting in the caused event. The semantic roles that the causee may take go from Agent to Object depending on various parameters that I will further refer to. Dixon's three semantic parameters relating to the causee - control, volition and affectedness (Dixon 2000) - will be discussed in reference to the two languages I am considering in this book.
In regard to the parameter of control, let us first consider the distinction animate/inanimate in the case of causee. Unlike the situation regarding the causer/causing process, the causee is represented by an entity and not by an event, both in Japanese and in English. Animacy is not marked in either of the languages that I am analyzing, as it happens in Creek15, for example, but it plays an important role in the selection of the entity functioning as the causee. Inanimate causees lack control and are preferred in the use of lexical causatives in both languages.
