and genetics research appear to adhere to a “no causal language” norm: researchers are encouraged to avoid causal vocabulary and use correlational vocabulary instead when reporting the aims and findings of observational research. This norm is visible in terminological
choices of the research paper authors and is sometimes explicitly stated, for example in journal editorial guidelines such as this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:7.5pt">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>
“Causal language (including use of terms such as effect and efficacy) should be used only for randomized clinical trials. For all other study designs […], methods and results should be described in terms of association or correlation and should avoid cause-and-effect
wording.” (<a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/JVeVCyojxQT6JvQYjHgKX6G?domain=t.e2ma.net"><span style="color:#3F7AB9">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/pages/instructions-for-authors</span></a>)
<br>
<br>
I will argue that this norm and the resulting practice of omitting causal language from research reports are unlikely to achieve one of their aims: preventing other scientists and the general public from interpreting the aims and findings of observational (or
any other) research causally. The expectation that it does prevent this, I suggest, rests on mistaken assumptions about the nature of linguistic content, language processing and human psychology. Furthermore, I suggest that under some circumstances, avoiding
explicitly causal language may even be counterproductive to this aim.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
