Moreover, while structural complexity per se is independent of the issue of the derivational relationship between the causative and inchoative alternants, it has been also standard to assume that causatives are virtually derived from their inchoative counterparts via operations like Predicate Raising in Generative Semantics or Head Movement in the GB/MP framework.
the causativization approach, which views causatives as based on inchoatives, has been influential across a variety of theoretical perspectives.
