The present book is an extensive revision of my doctoral dissertation. While many of the analyses and observations go back to the original work, the present book can safely be said to be a complete rewrite of the original manuscript. The theoretical descriptions have been pruned to what is absolutely essential and the descriptive material has been restructured to better clarify my own cognitive lexical-paradigmatic approach to causative constructions in English, basically a synthesis of cognitive grammar and systemic-functional grammar.
