The penultimate sentence of the abstract of the article by Haspelmath et al. (Reference Haspelmath, Calude, Spagnol, Narrog and Bamyacı2014), ‘In corpus data from seven languages, we find that verb pairs for which the noncausal member is more frequent tend to be coded as anticausatives, while verb pairs for which the causal member is more frequent tend to be coded as causatives’, should read:

In corpus data from seven languages, we find that verb pairs for which the causal member is more frequent tend to be coded as anticausatives, while verb pairs for which the noncausal member is more frequent tend to be coded as causatives.
