Alternation ‘Active-intransitive-causative’ (Coded)

To express a construction like "X causes Y to Vt P" (Vt=transitive verb ), the transitive verb has to be detransitivized, in this case with the active-intransitive marker. The participants now indexed are the causer and the causee. The third participant, i.e., the logical patient, can only be expressed in an oblique NP.
