  • A causative form is, in linguistics, (a) an expression of an agent causing or forcing a subject to perform an action or to be in a certain condition--salient cause, (b) an expression of a subject involved in a non-volitional event that registers the changes of its state--salient effect, (c) an expression of a grammatical modality in perfective (sequential) or subjunctive (hypothetical) or realis (non-hypothetical) state--perceptual salient. All languages have ways to express causation, but they differ in the means. In some languages there are morphological devices that change verbs into their causative forms, or adjectives into verbs of "becoming".
