Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, 17(Winter), 11-16.2371-2643http://hdl.handle.net/1880/51378Elizabeth Ritter, University of Calgary; Sara Thomas Rosen, University of KansasIn the present paper we demonstrate that the aspectual role CAUSER is syntactically assigned. This assumption allows a principled distinction between indirect causers and agents; it also accounts for restrictions on argument inheritance in lexical derivation, including the restriction against derivation of causativized verbs discussed in Pesetsky (1992), and the failure of -er nominalization of causativized verbs noted in Brousseau and Ritter (1991).enLinguisticsSyntaxGrammar, Comparative and general--Aspectjournal article10.11575/PRISM/28918
