THE MAIN WAYS OF FORMATION OF CAUSATIVES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
The article deals with two main ways of formation of causatives in Modern English: morphological and syntactical. Morphological method is less productive, and syntactic, on the contrary, is basic in modern English. Considered and analyzed three main suffixes -ize, -ate, -fy, which are capable of forming verbs with causative meaning. At the syntactical level causativity is expressed by syntactic constructs that are abstracted using syntactic models. There are two types of such models, abstracted models and half-abstracted model. To abstracted models should include models that are formed by the following abstracted markers of causativity: to have + N + Ven and to get + N + Ven. Half-abstracted models of causativity differ from abstracted models,that they convey more specific information about an act of causation. Since the grammar is generally composed of morphology and syntax, the relation of syntactical models for expression of causativity to the grammatical level is obvious.
