Let us turn to the category "resultative", which is usually depicted as the denominal counterpart of the deadjectival causative [...]. However, the distinction between "make x" and "make into x" seems to be conceptually unmotivated and can be characterized as an artefact of an inappropriate meta-language that treats paraphrases as if they were direct representations of meaning. In our framework, the resultative and the causative collapse into one category.
