                Causative predicates #

                Japanese morphological causative suffix -(s)ase (@cite{song-1996}: COMPACT type). Case marking on the causee distinguishes coercion from permission:

                "Hanako ga Ziroo o ik-ase-ta" = "Hanako made Ziro go" (ACC → make) "Hanako ga Ziroo ni ik-ase-ta" = "Hanako let Ziro go" (DAT → enable)

                行かせる "ik-ase-ru" — go-CAUS (ACC causee = make reading).

                Equations
                • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
                Instances For

                  食べさせる "tabe-sase-ru" — eat-CAUS (ACC causee = make reading).

                  Equations
                  • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
                  Instances For

                    Japanese causative -(s)ase uses .make builder (direct causation reading).

                    Accusative/Ablative Alternation Verbs #

                    Departure verbs that allow source marking with ACC -o or ABL kara. These are dyadic unaccusatives: two internal arguments, no thematic Voice.

                    離れる "hanareru" — leave (dyadic unaccusative, ACC/ABL alternation). Leaver = theme (raised to subject), Source = source of departure. voiceType := .nonThematic — unaccusativity is derived from Voice selection, not stipulated (@cite{kratzer-1996}, @cite{ozaki-2026}).

                    Equations
                    • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
                    Instances For

                      出る "deru" — exit (dyadic unaccusative, ACC/ABL alternation). Leaver = theme (raised to subject), Source = source of departure. voiceType := .nonThematic — unaccusativity is derived from Voice selection, not stipulated (@cite{kratzer-1996}, @cite{ozaki-2026}).
