Instead of "corresponds to" I would say these behaviors "define" or  
"are" the [[Call]] and [[Construct]] internal properties respectively.

I also think that, given this change, the steps of actually creating  
new objects should be moved down to the descriptions for "called as a  
function" and "called as part of a new expression", instead of  
described separately above, to make clear that they still happen when  
the [[Call]] or [[Construct]] internal properties are invoked in other  
ways.
