Clarify which tree is resultative and which is non-resultative edit
The caption "...the difference in structure between resultative and non-resultative phrases" leads the reader to think that the resultative tree is shown first (i.e., on the left) and the non-resultative tree is shown second (on the right), since people normally interpret a picture caption as describing the picture from left to right. (A reader reading a photo caption saying "Henry Jacobs and John Sheehan" would normally expect to see Henry Jacobs on the left.) I've reversed the phrase to make it clearer. Alternatively the caption could read "between resultative (right) and non-resultative (left) phrases." Omc (talk) 15:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
