A causative voice construction is the coded alternant in a °causative voice alternation.
causative (STR) = a system of strategies in which a noncausal event and its counterpart causal event are expressed such that the causal event predicate adds overt coding to the noncausal event predicate. Example: in Turkish, the causal event predicate öl-dür- ‘kill’ is formed by the noncausal event predicate öl ‘die’ plus the overt causative suffix -dür. (Section 6.3.4)
