Causativity, Affix, Internal Event, External Event, AgenitivityAbstract
This article bases about the characteristics of the causativity affix in Arabic. It demonstrates that this affix change verbe vent state, for exemple the caustive affix indicate external event. In unergative and unnaccusative, the indicate internal event. In result, causative affix have a feature that change the syntax and meaning of some root, We will compare Arabic with other languages where genitive is associated with a change in the inflection of the object. Through this paper, we will defend a syntactic conception that genitive verbs include two predicates: the first which can be represented by "go" and the second denotes a result, which can be represented by the event "become".
