Sobre verbos denominales: construcciones causativas y de localización

Abstract

We form denominal causative verbs from nouns. Although these verbs can express different kinds of meaning, we will focus here on causative and local meanings. Specifically, we will analyze denominal causative verbs and denominal local verbs, showing, thus, the need to differentiate a subgroup of denominal causative-local verbs, where causative meaning proves to be as important as local meaning. In these verbs, the localised figure doesn’t show prior to location, as it happens in the case of typical local schemas, but emerges as a result of the causative action. Therefore, denominal causative-local verbs express location and causativity inherently and not accidentally.
