Comparative analysis of English and Chinese causative construction

Both English and Chinese can express causative concept at word and sentence level, but they have different emphasis. English primarily use lexical causative, and analytic causative is secondary; while in Chinese the analytic causative is most important and lexical causative is less often used. The difference between English and Chinese causative construction influences Chinese learners' acquisition of English. CLEC corpus shows that students overuse sentence pattern of “make…(adjective/ verb)".
