- Abstract
- This study investigates whether English causative constructions can be predicted, and if so, how. The technique used here is that of the decision tree, which emerges as the most powerful tool for our purposes. Some results are given and it is shown how these results can be applied, not only to a scientific description of causative constructions, but also, provided some changes are implemented, to the field of second or foreign language acquisition.
