Constructionalization of verbal causative periphrases in French, "faire", "laisser", "mettre à", "donner à" + Vinf

Résumé

This study is comparing causative verbal periphrases in French, faire Vinf, laisser Vinf, donner à Vinf, and mettre à VInf. (as in example 1. faire penser, laisser penser, donner à penser, *mettre à penser or in example 2. Faire chauffer, laisser chauffer, mettre à chauffer, *donner à chauffer). The French causative construction in these four near synonyms constructions has to be analyzed with several criteria: a.modal criteria: how strong is the causation involved ? A deontic or just a permissive value? b.aspectual criteria: the phasal aspect c.nature of the causation: direct, indirect, implicit, manipulative causation d.source of the causation: agentive or other e.constructional value in context Amongst this paradigm, donner VInf construction is a causative extension of the full lexeme give observed in other languages from different families and is a very peculiar cross-linguistic phenomenon (Bouveret 2021, Gouggenheim 1929, Von Waldenfels 2012, Newman 1997, 1998). Faire VInf is the most well known causative expression by a foreign learner but what are the differences between these four expressions, is what we will study using contempory newspapers corpora from Europresse.
