Abstract :
Causality is not a rigid entailment between antecedent and consequence. Sometimes this link is defined by vague syntactical patterns that lead as a result an imperfect causal relation. In this paper we explore the role of causality when certain linguistic structures, detected automatically by a program suited for this task, are present into a sentence. A set of examples belonging to different text genres are analysed to test the presence of imperfect causal sentences in different literary genres.
