| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the causative constructions in languages of the Mataguayan family: Chorote, Wichí, Maka and Nivaclé, from a functional typological perspective. The main goal is to compare the different morphological mechanisms of causativization of these languages and to establish the regularities that they present. The morphological causative constructions in the Mataguayan family are made from suffixes, which, from a semantic point of view, are divided into two groups: forms in -t and forms in -n. Some authors link the former with the notion of direct causation, and the latter with that of indirect causation. In Mataguayan languages, the direction of derivation in the process of morphological causativization seems to tend to be formed from the intransitive to the causative, with the causative counterpart being the one with the largest morphological material. |
