Causative alternations in Siraiki

Abstract:
Siraiki is a major but understudied Indo‐Aryan language spoken mainly in central Pakistan. Its causative system, which has never been described in detail, shows many similarities with causative systems in related modern Indo‐Aryan languages, but also differences which render it unique within this family. We provide a detailed account of causativization in Siraiki, and attempt to explain the synchronic complexity of the Siraiki data, as well as the broader variation within modern Indo‐Aryan, in diachronic terms.
