Question

1.
Causative

2.
Reciprocal

3.
Applicative

4.
Passive

5.
Neuter

Answer 1

The two verbal extensions that increase the valency of the verb are:

1. Causative - This extension allows the subject to cause someone else to perform the action of the verb, thereby adding an additional participant to the event.

2. Applicative - This extension adds an object or participant to the verb that is not typically included in the intransitive or transitive form of the verb, effectively increasing the valency by introducing a new argument.

The other options (Reciprocal, Passive, and Neuter) do not increase the valency of the verb.
