This article is aimed at making a cross-linguistic analysis of explicit and implicit means of verbalization of epistemic causal relations in German and Kazakh. It provides an overview of similarities and differences of causal connectives in two typologically different languages: German and Kazakh. This study proves the linguistic reliability of the subject involvement scale. Causal relations and their segments reflecting the speaker’s assumptions and actions may influence the degree of subject involvement. In the present paper we made an attempt to define the principal types of information that determine epistemic conditions since they contribute greatly to the development of cognitive-pragmatic functions in the discourse. An epistemic causal relation expresses the degree of the speaker’s knowledge of the objective situation and his/her beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes to objective reality.
