Hebrew adjectival passives with the causative-template differ in their
semantics from adjectival passives with other templates. This can readily
be accounted for in a framework such as Distributed Morphology, where the
template (a functional head) syntactically combines with the root, and
allows the derivation both of an unaccusative and a transitive verb from a
common root, together with the related adjectival passive. The data appear
more problematic for a lexicalist framework where the
causative/anticausative alternation relates two separate verbs.
