About actual causation in the Buryat language

Бесплатный доступ

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of differentiating semantic-syntactic pairs of factitive and permissive meanings of causative constructions in the Buryat language. It is reaveled that factual causation is explicitly expressed only in causative polypredicative constructions with volitional verbs. The means of expressing factual causation at the morphological level are suffixes -га (-го, -гэ), -гаа (-гээ, -гоо, -гөө), -ха (-хэ, -хо), -хаа (-хээ, -хоо), -аа (-ээ, -оо, -өө). In the Buryat language, the factual or permissive meaning of the verb is often fixed in the dictionary entry. The article shows that the context is of great importance for defining a particular type of causation in the Buryat language. So, one of the contextual conditions for actualizing factitive meaning may be the marker of "unpleasant".
