Summary/Abstract: This article deals with pragmalinguistic typology which helps to represent the cognitive level. Thanks to the pragmalinguistic typology, one can analyze the communication process in a more detailed way and detect that translating and stringing together translated sentences is not enough for the respondent to understand what the speak¬er wants to express. For this purpose, it is very important to know how to produce syntactically and semantically meaningful sentences as well as how to use adequate linguistic and non-linguistic means. The main aim of this article is to point out the importance of pragmalinguistic typology, which plays an essential role to describe semantically the causal constructions in historical texts.
