Abstract
Causahty is one of the most basic aspects of the way hutnans conceive cohelence
in the world they inhabit, m then expenences, and m then lelationships
with othei people In language and language use the hnguistic markmg of cau
sality plays an impoi tant role This study focuses on Dutch hnguistic maikeis
of causahty of two diffeient types, which aie manifest at two different levels of
the hnguistic structuie the causal connectives daardoor ('äs a resulf) and
daarom ('that's why'), and the causal veibs doen ('make') and laten ('have,
make') So fai, these causal maikei s are typically studied m Isolation Hei e, the
study of the mteiclausal (connectives) and the müa-clausal level maikeis of
causahty (causal verbs) is integrated, the central idea being that distinctions
between diffeient types of causahty are hkely to conespond across levels of
language structure
