@cite{song-1996}

French causative predicates, centered on the faire causative. @cite{song-1996} classifies faire as a COMPACT causative with free morpheme realization: the causative and effect verbs form a tight syntactic unit despite being separate words.

"Je ferai lire le livre à Nicole" = "I will make Nicole read the book" (faire + infinitive = single predicate for case marking purposes)

French verb entry: extends VerbCore with French inflectional paradigm.
