Causative mood

In linguistic morphology, causative mood serves to express a causal relation, e.g., a logical inference relation, between the current clause and the clause or sentence it refers to. It occurs, for example, in Eskimo-Aleut languages.

Causative mood is not to be confused with the unrelated notion of causative voice, a valency-shifting operation in many languages.
