What is an "anticausative verb"?
An anticausative verb is a type of intransitive verb that describes an action where the subject experiences a change of state without the involvement of an external agent. In this case, the subject undergoes the action rather than performing it. Anticausative verbs often convey situations where something happens to the subject naturally or as a result of an event. For example, in the sentence "The door closed," the verb "closed" is anticausative because the door undergoes the action without an agent actively closing
