Abstract
This article aims to study the syntactic concept of causality reflected in the model of a complex sentence with causal clauses. The syntactic concept of causality is viewed as a presentation of coherent-cohesive connections in the railway-related texts taken from the German research articles published in specialized journals in the period of 2000-2017. During the study, the following methods were applied: continuous sampling, linguistic description and observation, syntactic modeling, the statistical method, cognitive modeling and prototype analysis techniques. The research enabled to demonstrate the connection of a formal-grammatical and a content-thematic sides in the railway-related texts revealed within the four aspects such as syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and hermeneutic (conceptual) ones. A detailed analysis of the syntactic means such as conjunctions, word order, theme-rhematic component, tense forms of the verb, modality in causal clauses, made it possible to identify the patterns of the expression of coherent-cohesive relations in the railway-related texts...
