| description | This paper is a discussion of the form and function of three causative structures found in the Rifmgdani (or Rongdani or Rongdania) dialect of Rabha. a Tiheto-Burnan language (Bodo-Garo branch) spoken mainly in the Goalpara District of Assam in Northeast India. One of the three structures, the Active or Direct causative takes the form of a prefix. and is no longer productive. The other two are suffixes transparently derived from verbs in analytical constructions: the Directive causative (-tak < tak *make'), and the Manipulative causative (-tan < tan 'put'). |
