          A situation where "make" creates coercive implication.

                    "Kim made Sandy leave" - has coercive implication.

                    Kim's action was sufficient + Sandy leaving is volitional → Sandy was coerced (didn't freely choose to leave)

                    Dynamics where Kim causes Sandy to sneeze (odd construction).

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

                      "Kim made Sandy sneeze" - NO coercive implication.

                      Kim's action was sufficient, but sneezing is non-volitional → No coercion inference (you can't override an involuntary action)

                      Coercion strength is strong for volitional actions.

                      Coercion strength is none for non-volitional actions.
