Abstract:
In this work my concern is to describe some linguistic expressions of
causation and a useful starting point of the causative construction situation or event as
a whole in Kambaata. This description is being thought as it has its own place in
Bible Translation.
In order to accomplish this study I have come up with four main chapters, the
fifth chapter is the conclusion. Chapter one mainly deals with the general background
of the Kambaata people group and overall information on the language described and
the methodology used in this work. The second chapter has to do with the general
information of the verbal categorization in relation to suffixation. The third chapter
deals with the actual causative constructions in Kambaata. Chapter four describes
how causatives can be applied in discourse.
The findings reveal that Kambaata makes use of quite a number of causative
constructions that occur even in the discourse. The evidence is given by the Kambaata
text in the appendix.
