Abstract

Theory of valence considers words including verbs to have valence according to their dependency type. In any language certain processes will cause a change in verb valency by the number of syntactic complements in a phrase or by the shift of their semantic functions of the arguments of a predicate. In this article we try to analyze causative structures in Sorani Kurdish within the framework of theory of valence. The data analyzed in this article are extracted from written and spoken materials by native speakers. We concluded that causative constructions are among the valency increasing processes which cause the type and number change of verb dependency in Sorani Kurdish sentences.
