Simulative derivations in crosslinguistic perspective and their diachronic sources
Abstract
This article deals with simulative derivations, meaning 'pretend (to be) X', where X stands for a verb or a noun. It shows that these derivations have three main origins: incorporation, denominal derivation and combination of reflexive and causative. It also systematically discusses the corresponding analytic constructions.
