Provided abstract: Intransitive Causatives (ICs) suggest an underexplored argument structure realization in verbs entering the causative alternation, with implications for argument structure and verb formation. An (inanimate) subject is licensed as the sole argument, naturally interpreted as a possible cause. The undergoer is semantically and syntactically unrealized. ICs challenge major claims on argument structure and causative alternation and reveal major productive asymmetry between English (1) and Romance (2). --------------------------------------------- ## Additional Notes Links: - https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/ This presentation is part of the 2021 West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics collection, which is available here: https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.c.5325401
