Abstract
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.
