A preliminary study on causatives in Italian Sign Language

Résumé

Causal constructions are structures in which the verbs refer to a causative situation between two events. Typologically, these structures can be distinguished in three groups: lexical, morphological and syntactic causatives. This work presents preliminary data showing that Italian Sign Language (LIS) displays all the typological categories of causatives. Additionally, we show that syntactic causatives in LIS can be mono-clausal or bi-clausal and we propose a formal analysis for them. Finally, we show that causative structures in LIS can also be expressed using an independent non-manual component. This strategy is an instance of syntactic causation.
