Tobler's gloss suggests that the null past complete tense marker that " event and process " verbs take applies to " make, " rather than " chop " in the causative construction, and therefore does not represent mere CP-embedding.

Many analysts ( Comrie ( 1981 ), Song ( 1996 ), Dixon ( 2000 ) and others ) have worked to tease apart what factors ( semantic or otherwise ) account for the distribution of causative constructions, as well as to document what patterns actually occur cross-linguistically.

If we take the sentence : The boy sat down ( Fisiak 1975 : 59 ) with an intransitive verb sit, we may notice that the sentence can be changed into causative construction : He made the boy sit down ( ibid ), where the word boy is changed from nominative into accusative, with the superior position of nominative . ( " Nominativus ", " accusativus ")
