%X the aim of this article is to study the role of world knowledge and linguistic -semantic- knowledge during the comprehension process of casual and contracasual relations. our initial hypothesis: causal relations are easier to process than contracasual relations. our specific objective: to verify this hypothesis in four conditions. firstly, it was evaluated how people comprehend a casual or contracasual relation between two events that belong either to an "everyday" knowledge domain either to a scientific domain, over which the subjects do not have previous knowledge. secondly, it was verified which role connectives with specific semantic content -causal and contracausal- take in those two texts types.
