This volume proposes a novel structural analysis for causative constructions, offering a solution for the long-standing mono/bi-clausal dualism. Causatives are claimed to instantiate a ‘complex object’ construction, insofar as the causee is not only the subject of the lexical verb, but also a participant that is related to the whole event. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the realization of causatives implies a crucial interplay with the pseudo-relative construction, a much-debated structure as well. Data from Scandinavian languages are highlighted, through the results of an experimental test on the scope of negation and adverbs supporting the present analysis. The book offers a cross-linguistic perspective as it discusses the relevant constructions in languages including Italian, English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

This work offers an overview, synchronic and diachronic, of causal clauses in Latin. In addition to addressing the functional characterization of causal clauses in the classical period, focusing on the conjunctions (quod, quia, quoniam) that express causal meaning, this work also examines the keys fundamental both to the process of grammaticalization of distinct causal conjunctions in Latin and to its diachronic evolution -- keys that help us understand not only classical philology, but also romance languages and linguistics in general.
