 at Stockholm University. I want to do a typological study of comparative correlative clauses (CCs). Sag (2010, p. 526) defines comparative correlative clauses as ‘monotonic relations between two differentials’. However, there is often a causative function
 in one direction, the first element is the reason for the state of the second element. The following examples illustrate this point.</span></div>
