ABSTRACT

This paper analyzed the causative nature and motion event nature of causative motion construction. But there are some causative motion sentences that the causee serve as subject, it cannot be analyzed by causative. And the motion event frame approach of Talmy(2000) can’t explain properly why causative motion construction, its predicate is consisted of non-causative motion verb, e.g. CHUI-SAN(吹散), can be classified as the causative motion. Therefore this paper argues that causative motion construction must be treated as independent construction.
