Relying on evidence from Tatar (Turkic), I propose that sociative causation reduces to the incremental relation between causing and caused subevents. In the emerging system, both \u0091direct\u0092 and \u0091non-direct\u0092 (= \u0091not necessarily direct\u0092) causation can be strengthened by the additional requirement that the two eventualities are incrementally related. I argue for a theory of syntactically represented event structure, where relations between its subevental components come out as a separate syntactic projection and show that a significant support for this proposal comes from spell-out patterns of sociative causatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Sergei Tatevosov (Lomonosov Moscow State University) Title: On sociative causation and its wider implications Time: Friday, December 26, 3:30-5pm Place: 32-155 Abstract: \u00a0 In this talk I address the phenomenon known as sociative causation, which is illustrated in (1) from ?avine\u00f1a (Guillaume &amp; Rose 2010): (1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 E-ra-tu\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ara-kere-chine\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 torta\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Don Fransisco. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1SG-ERG-3SG\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 eat-CAUS.SOC-REC.PAST\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11592"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11594,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11592\/revisions\/11594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
