(Rezac 2010a, Postal 1990: 176). However, the y-repair is reported for the causatives
of unergatives with a 1/2.DAT causee, (235). No further data is known, including
whether the strong pronoun repair is available here in the same grammars.
There are alternative ways to analyze the y of (225) (Rezac 2010c).

Paul will him.D them.D make carry the books to them immediately
[Eric forgot to bring the books to Paul's students.] Paul will make him
carry the books to them / the students IMMEDIATELY.

If (1/2.)DAT + DAT clusters in (some) causatives do fall under the PCC repair,
the extension of the PCC to (235) is technically feasible. In (235)a, the matrix
clause provides a single cliticization and Agree/Case mechanism for both clauses.
The embedded dative must clicize directly into the matrix clause, from the subject
of which it must then be disjoint. If it is [+person], it falls under the PCC because
there is a higher causee dative, and then it is repairable if it need not be applicative
(répondre but not tirer dessus). In (235)b, the embedded infinitive is richer, with
its own cliticization site and Agree/Case system, allowing the dative to be coreferential
with the matrix subject. A mechanism independently needed in this grammar
and discussed in Appendix A brings it into the matrix clause.
