Abstract

Causativity is an universal functional-semantic category, the study of which remains an actual problem in linguistics. Causative verbs as a core category are a significant layer of the verbal lexicon of any language that finds a specific expression at different levels of the linguistic system. In Buryat linguistics, many questions of causation are still in the stage of study and development, so the urgency of the research is also due to the insufficient knowledge of the problem. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the morphological means of formation of causative verbs in the Buryat language. The work shows that causation is one of the most productive derivations, since causative derivatives are formed from virtually any verb. A number of suffixes participate in the formation of causative verbs, among them the suffix -uul takes the dominant position in the production of causative verbs, and the suffixes -ha, -ga, -haa, -gaa are the most unproductive. The conditions for attaching certain causative affixes are described in detail. The article states that the suffix -uul, -lga can participate in the formation of verbs of volitional influence. In the Buryat language, the variability of causative suffixes is also noted, in which two variants of the affix can be attached to the same verb stem. In this case, between the pairs of causative verbs, there are some differences in semantics. In the article, constructions are distinguished in which a verb with a causative affix may not contain a causative value, that means the causative affix appears in non-canonical use, as a passive. It is also shown that causative suffixes can easily attach to almost all other verbal markers: in particular, to markers of reciprocal, sociative and reflexive. The article has noted that in these conditions the significance of social causation in the Buryat language is realized. In this case the -uul suffix is more productive.
