The little v agrees with the shifted object in Case and the Case agreement is graphically encoded on the verb in Tagalog, as exemplified in 29b-d below.
If it does, the EPP feature on the little v will attract a closest DP within its domain to its edge, creating object shift.
If the little v does not bear an EPP feature, object shift will not be attested; the external argument, as the highest argument of all, will be advanced as the trigger and control the verbal morphology, as in 29a below.
In poa-CAs, poa occurs as a transitive little v, which bears an EPP feature while taking as its complement a functional projection that contains a causative vP headed by a phonologically null element comparable to pa-.
In the meantime, the applicative head Appl under the little v serves to introduce an applied argument to the event described by the verb and thus adds another two dimensions, i.e., IA and LA, to the transitive-intransitive division on the lexical layer.
