Abstract

In this work, we explore the inchoative/causative alternation found in Basque verbs. We propose that this alternation is a Voice alternation: when Voice has an argument in its specifier position, the causative variant emerges; in contrast, when there is no such argument, we get the inchoative variant. Following Wood (2016), we argue that the lack of alternation found in some verbs is due to the lack of a corresponding interpretation in the LF-instructions of those verbs. On the other hand, we explain the idiosyncratic meaning found in certain structures by means of root-allosemy. Finally, we propose that the interpreation of the ergative argument and the causative semantics is derived from the syntactic configuration, rather than from the projection of a certain syntactic head.
