Is instrumental causee available in Azerbaijani?

Abstract

This paper focuses on the availability of instrumental PPs in the ditransitive and causative of ditransitive verbs. While base ditransitive verbs only allow PPs to be marked with inanimate NPs, causative of ditransitive base verbs also accept animate NPs. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether these animate NPs marked with instrumental PPs can be the causee of the causative of ditransitive sentences, and to give an argument structure analysis within the Lexical Mapping Theory.
