The purpose of this paper is to discuss the syntactic form of the predicate-complement causative construction 'X+Si' and to analyze the coercion phenomenon inside it. According to the research, it was observed that the construction is formed by the interactional integration of causative construction, the surface form, and predicate-complement construction, the underlying form. This kind of interaction can be divided into fusion and coercion. Typical Predicate-complement causative construction has its semantic role and the argument of 'X+Si' in an integrated relationship, which is in one-on-one correspondence. On the other hand, non-typical predicate-complement causative construction proves that causative construction causes interaction among predicate-complement construction, predicate 'X', and complement 'Si'. First of all, the predicate-complement construction coerces the lexical item to have a new meaning by giving it a value. Next, the argument structure of the predicate-complement causative construction 'X+Si' is changed due to the coercion of the causative construction. Finally, as the meaning of complement 'Si' coerces predicate 'X' to get a meaning of 'degree', the nuance of the construction is also changed due to the pragmatic interaction between the predicate 'X' and the complement 'Si'.
