A Comparative Study Between Two Causative Constructions;"SHI"construction And "BA" Construction

The close relation between SHI construction and BA construction is based on their shared semantic category ?causation. Belonging to the sub-categories distinctively, they show different semantic features. The SHI construction reveals causative relations and lays stress on the caused result. The BA construction portrays the course of causation and emphasizes both the cause and the result. Due to their different semantic features, the two constructions have inter-complementary distributions syntactically and textually.
