Definition
the semantic relation in a conditional, causal, concessive, or conditional concessive construction that expresses a causal relation between events in the world; and the construction expressing that relation. Example: in If you press this button, the door will open, there is a content causal relation between the event of your pressing the button and the event of the door opening. A content causal relation contrasts with an epistemic causal relation or a speech act causal relation. (Section 17.3.1)
