The main motivation for this paper was to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon of sociative causation that has been attracting increasing attention over past few years. Relying mostly on the data from Tatar, a Turkic languages spoken in Central Russia, I suggested that sociative causation can be reduced to the incremental relation between causally related eventualities. This hypothesis accounts straightforwardly for the speakers’ judgments about the meaning of the relevant causative construction in Tatar, for the implicatures that tend to be associated with this construction and for a number of semantic restrictions on its distribution.
