Anticausatives have no Cause(r): A rejoinder to Beavers and Koontz-Garboden (in this issue)

•A response to Beavers & Koontz-Garboden's reply to Horvath and Siloni (2011a).•We examine and discard BKG's counterarguments one by one.•We present further evidence that reaffirms Horvath & Siloni's conclusion that there is no Cause ingredient in anticausatives.

This paper reaffirms the conclusion of Horvath and Siloni (2011a) that unaccusatives – with or without the so-called reflexive morphology – involve no Cause ingredient whatsoever. Arguments based on the distribution of the modifier by itself, negation, and the Greek cause preposition apo show that. Beavers and Koontz-Garboden's (in this issue) counterarguments to Horvath and Siloni are either based on partial data or confounded by independent factors.
