- Abstract
- In this study, I examine causative projections in the resultative construction in Mandarin Chinese. In comparing Tsai's (2015b) analysis of Chinese resultatives to that of Bi and Pan (2018), I argue that several pieces of evidence favor Bi and Pan's proposal, which situates the causative projection around the vP periphery. I suggest, however, that their structure could be further refined and
propose a fine-grained structure that not only explains the behavior of the relevant resultative and causative constructions in Chinese but also accords with causative distributions cross-linguistically
