In different languages regardless of their morphological buildup, syntactic constructions whose notional structure contains a logic suggestion of causality (X is the cause of Y) are referred to as causal constructions. Causal semantics can be expressed by various causal constructions being the method of expressing causative/consecutive relations. Adjectival causal constructions are the markers of causative/consecutive relations. In the English language, the markers of those relations are 24 adjectives; among them there are 10 simple and 14 compound ones; in Modern Greek, there are 15 which are structurally simple, in Ukrainian, there are 28 which are simple, compound and complex. Simple adjectives are primarily abstract, expressing the general meaning of the cause, whereas compound and complex ones add expressivity to a particular manifestation of causality in a particular contextual environment and in a particular causal situation. The methodological basis of the research lies in the reflective and interpretational approach to the study of lingual phenomena which makes it possible to profoundly present the groupings of lingual phenomena as a certain pattern or model reflecting one of the fragments of the environment. A kind of that model is the functional semantic field where the meanings of both notional and functional words schematically reflect the human experience. In this respect, the functional semantic field is the object of study in cognitive semantics and grammar which is considered to be one of the structures of knowledge of the world, in particular as a concept, a domain, a frame and a pattern of reflecting a typical situation.
