The Landmarks Series is a research and publications outfit funded by the Landmarks Research Foundation to publish recent outstanding doctoral dissertations on any aspect of Nigerian linguistics, languages, literatures and cultures. This study examines causatives in Igbo within the minimalist program. It identifies three types of causative: analytical, morphological and lexical. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 is the general introduction, while Chapter 2 examines in some details the theory of causativity. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 focus on the analytical, morphological and lexical causative respectively.
Accused of ruining Mae Ballard and faced with a shotgun wedding, Jefferson Lind knows exactly who's to blame. He's been taking the fall for Jedediah's sins as long as he can remember. Mae's a shrieking shrew, and he hasn't seen Jed, his identical twin, since they worked digging the Erie Canal together. If he'd been ordered to marry Mae's sweet younger sister Rosie, instead, he sure wouldn't complain. Rosie's the only member of her family who believes Jeff, and she'd go to any lengths to free him from her sister's clutches. But when Jedediah turns up with violent thugs on his tail, things quickly grow more dangerous. Gamblers from Buffalo seize both sisters as hostages, prompting a daring impersonation. Can Jeff and Jed shed their troubled past and win the hearts of the women they love?
