Klappentext zu „Chamberlain, J: Latin Antecedents of French Causative Faire “
The factitive construction faire faire quelque chose à quelqu'un, a central problem in French syntax, differs in structure from its counterpart in Classical Latin, which typically expressed causation by means of a subordinate clause with its verb in the subjunctive. This examination of causative constructions in representative Late Latin and Old French texts offers evidence that the infinitive construction characteristic of the Romance languages in fact originated in Latin and was widespread by the sixth century. Additional syntactic features of the causative in French, however, including the generalization of the indirect object à quelqu'un and the fusion of faire with its dependent infinitive, are shown to be Romance developments that are not generalized in French until the fifteenth century.

Rezension zu „Chamberlain, J: Latin Antecedents of French Causative Faire “
It is a welcome contribution to a filed which is unfortunately not fashionable any more. ...more studies such as Chamberlain's are needed to provide carefully selected data, for they give rise to valuable insight into French syntax. This book is most useful as a work of reference because it is a resource to many of us interested in the complexity of language. (Jeanne Ambrose, University of Massachusetts, Boston, French Review)
