Summary/Abstract: This article aims to show the effect of two different linguistic processing systems (L1, L2) on the development of causal thinking in L2, under a cognitive and experimental light (Benaicha, 2018). The discussion also focuses on the crucial importance of structuring the scientific text at the level of local causal coherence (microstructure) and inferential processing, thus reflecting the interrelationships between semantic textual propositions and prior standard representations of the reader-reader necessary to the construction of the causality of the physical world (Legros & Baudet, 1996). The main idea in this research is how semantic representations influence the construction of causality (intentional and physical) according to the language provided during repetitive reading and the causal structure of the text during comprehension activity.
