• Resumen

  • Different approaches to causativity are compared. The direction of semantic derivation in pairs consisting of a reflexive verb and its non-reflexive (causative) counterpart is discussed, as well as the distinction between causativization and decausativization. Non trivial parallels are established between Russian decausatives and the so called unaccusative verbs.
