概要	Gagauz is a Turkic language, spoken mainly in Moldova (Eastern Europe). This paper analyzes the variation in the coding types of causal–noncausal verb pairs in Gagauz by examining 31 verb pairs proposed for crosslinguistic studies by Haspelmath (1993). This paper shows that Gagauz displays a great propensity for causative coding across different verb pairs. This is not surprising considering that Turkic languages have a synchronic preference and diachronic stability for causative coding (Comrie 2006, Ohsaki 2015). However, this coding preference of Gagauz makes this language an exception to the areal coding tendency for European languages to prefer anticausative rather than causative coding.
