Summary:An analysis of the derived transitive & causative verbs of the Indo-Aryan language Kashmiri demonstrates that its morphological causative displays morphosyntactic features that in other languages are usually associated with phrasal causatives. With respect to verb agreement, case-marking, its person hierarchy, & passivization Kashmiri treats causees as direct objects rather than as oblique ones, a set of facts suggesting that at some level the causee acts as if it were the subject of an embedded clause. In this Kashmiri is the only Irido-Aryan language (besides Sanskrit) to exhibit a "push-down" syntax for the case-marking of causees & to allow the occurrence of "chomeurs." References.
