Two domains of causatives

refer to an event which is a subpart of a larger event as a subevent (3) An event must be anchored with respect to the discourse. This anchoring may occur through binding by aspectual and temporal operators, e.g. a. aspect anchors the event to a reference time, and b. tense anchors the reference time to the speech time (cf. Reichenbach 1947, Giorgi and Pianesi 1997) (4) Event structure is distinct from temporal structure (cf. Ramchand 2004); opera-tors over events do not bind times, and operators over times do not bind events (5) An aspectual operator may bind an event variable, and may provide a temporal variable for further binding; multiple operators cannot bind the same event, so sequences of temporal and aspectual operators do not affect the event structure collectively, but sequentially, e.g. past of perfect of progressive. (6) The failure of temporal operators to combine with nouns or adjectives is due to the absence in nouns and adjectives of an unbound e (7) A verbalizing affix, which allows binding by temporal operators, provides e (8) A nominalizing or adjectivalizing affix on a verbal stem, which prevents binding by temporal operators, binds e
