The article deals with the semantic research of causative verbs in English and Tajik. It shows that both languages have causative verbs which show an action that causes something to happen or causes a change of state. In English causative verbs have been studied thoroughly, but in Tajik they require more comparative research. Therefore, the author undertakes an analysis of causative verbs and defines their functions in both languages. The analysis of language materials shows that causative verbs in English are expressed by analytical means, while Tajik applies special affixes. Additionally, English sentence word order requires them to follow the subject, while in Tajik they take the end position in the sentence.
