Bridge: Memory-Surprisal MorphemeOrder → Causatives Typology #
@cite{song-1996}
Connects the Japanese causative -(s)ase morpheme order analysis from
MemorySurprisal.MorphemeOrder to @cite{song-1996}'s causative typology
in Phenomena.Causatives.Typology.
The key bridge: Japanese -(s)ase occupies the valence slot (innermost functional suffix), consistent with its classification as a COMPACT morphological causative.
Bridge: Japanese -(s)ase = Song's COMPACT morphological causative #
Japanese -(s)ase is classified as a morphological COMPACT causative in
@cite{song-1996}. The ik_ase entry in Fragments/Japanese/Predicates confirms
this: causativeBuilder = some.make.
The Japanese -(s)ase causative entry is causative (derived from causativeBuilder).
Japanese -(s)ase uses the.make causative builder (direct causation).
@cite{song-1996} classifies Japanese -(s)ase as COMPACT.
The COMPACT type subsumes morphological causatives like Japanese -(s)ase, Turkish -dür, and also lexical causatives like English kill. This is consistent with the slot being valence (innermost).
