In Causatives in Kwa: An Intragenetic Typology Reginald Akuoko Duah presents a rich description and analysis of the formal types of causative expressions found in the different Kwa languages. Using a variety of language-internal tests, the book brings to light the features which make these languages similar in certain respects and different others. The book represents a fresh approach to the study of serial verb constructions (SVCs) and demonstrates that cause-effect serial verb constructions are a type of causative constructions and that analytic causatives lie outside realm of serial verb constructions.
