Causative predicates #
Japanese morphological causative suffix -(s)ase (@cite{song-1996}: COMPACT type). Case marking on the causee distinguishes coercion from permission:
- ACC o = less causee control →
.make(coercive reading) - DAT ni = more causee control →
.enable(permissive reading)
"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).

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}).
