CARPIO, María Belén. CAUSATIVIZATION OF LOCATIVE VERBS IN TOBA OF WESTERN FORMOSA (GUAYCURUAN, ARGENTINA. Lingüística [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.2, pp.47-62. ISSN 2079-312X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2079-312X.20160016.

This paper describes the causativization strategies of verbs that encode spatial relations in Toba of Western Formosa. The analysis is based on fieldwork carried out in Vaca Perdida (Bermejo Department, Formosa, Argentina), and on the data provided by the “Diccionario Toba” (Tebboth 1943). It is shown that argument indexing on the verb and causativization distinguish two types of locative situations: one that specifies the ground as a location or a goal, and another one that encodes a path

Keywords : spatial relations; morphological causatives; lexical causatives; periphrastic causatives; Toba of Western Formosa.
