Are 'get something ready' and 'get something going' examples of causative constructions?

Question

When I search for information about causative verbs, the verb 'get' specifically, two major structures come up:

1. Get somebody to do something - convince/cause somebody to do something
2. Get something done (Passive Causative)

My question is, what about constructions like 'get + object + adjective (get something ready)' and 'get + object + Verb-ing (get something going)?' Is it fair to say that those are other uses of 'get' as a causative verb? Because 'get' in these phrases has a meaning of 'to cause'. And is there a grammatical name for these constructions?

UPDATE: Thank you for answers and comments. I'd like to give some examples to clarify.

She needs to get ready - not causative. She needs to get her kids ready - is that causative?

He needs to get going. - not causative. He needs to get his group going. - causative?

The constructions here considered are reckoned with in A Comprehensive grammar of the English Language (Quirk et al, 1985), as multi-word verb constructions, all being idiomatic verb phrases. the most important subclass of verbs in the class of multi-word verb constructions are the so-called phrasal verbs, "phrasal verb" being nowadays considered to be an unsatisfactory term. The subclass in which is found "get ready" and "get < something > going", instead of consisting of combinations of adverbial particles and prepositions with a simple verb form, are made up of a simple verb form and an adjective (VERB-ADJECTIVE COMBINATION), or a simple verb form and another verb form (VERB-VERB COMBINATION), or, finally, of verbs governing two prepositions.

(CoGEL § 16.17) Other multi-word verb constructions
Apart from the types of multi-word verb [resulting from combinations with adverbial particles and prepositions], some other idiomatic verb constructions may be briefly noted.

(a) VERB-ADJECTIVE COMBINATIONS These are similar to phrasal verbs. Compare:

• Meg put the cloth straight.
• Meg put the cat out.

Like phrasal verbs, verb-adjective combinations form cohesive units; but unlike phrasal verbs¹, some of them allow comparative modification:

• John didn't put the cloth as straight as Meg. (correct)
• John didn't put the cat as out as Meg. (unacceptable)

They may be either copular (clause pattern SVC), or complex transitive (clause pattern SVOC):
SVC: break even, plead guilty, lie low
SVOC: cut < Noun > short, work < Noun > loose, rub < Noun > dry

Sometimes the idiom contains additional elements, such as an infinitive (play hard to get) or a preposition (ride roughshod over. . .).

(The '< Noun >' above indicates a direct object in the case of transitive examples.

In the case of "get something ready" there is no possible comparison.

• Joan didn't get the diner as ready as Jane. (unacceptable)

The clause pattern is "SVOC" (obviously).

(CoGEL § 16.17)
(b) VERB-VERB COMBINATIONS In these idiomatic constructions […], the second verb is nonfinite, and may be either an infinitive:
make do with, make (< Noun >) do, let (< Noun >) go, let (< Noun >) be

or a participle, with or without a following preposition:
put paid to, get rid of, have done with
leave < Noun > standing, send < Noun > packing, knock < Noun > flying, get going

"Get < Noun > going" does not figure in the list above, but this is merely an omission because the list of those verbs is very long.

This is not a causative verbal construction because no one is made to do the action for somebody else, as can be made clear through the meaning. (causative: have and get)

_{¹ In CoGEL, phrasal verbs are strictly verbs that are combinations of a simple verb form with an adverbial particle (forming a unit).}
