| Summary: | A syntactic analysis of the behavior of the Japanese causative is presented within the framework of Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG). Three points are made: (1) certain aspects of the case-marking in the Japanese causative construction can be accounted for if it is assumed that the formation of the causative involves verb-movement, and that verb-movement in Japanese has the same properties as the Germanic verb-raising construction; (2) the restriction on case-marking known as the "double-o constraint" is strictly local in nature, in the sense that it can be made precise in the TAG framework; and (3) the behavior of the causative under passivization follows from the analysis presented.
