Since quantifier raising adjoins a quantified argument to vP, quantified arguments interact differently if they are coarguments than if they are not. Thus, scope interactions are able to give indications on what arguments in a causative structure belong to the same vP, and, as a consequence, how vPs may occur in a causative structure. The data I discuss shows that in Romance causative structures the causee and the internal argument (if any)Romance Languages and Linguistic TheoryRomance languagesCongressesLinguisticsCongressesRomance languagesLinguistics410.092Franco Irene1980-1562333Going Romance (Conference)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779311003321Romance languages and linguistic theory 20103829886UNINA
