Dunietz et al. (2017)[2]: "Several annotation schemes have addressed elements of causal language. Verb resources such as VerbNet (Schuler, 2005) and PropBank (Palmer et al., 2005) include verbs of causation. Likewise, preposition schemes (e.g., Schneider et al., 2015, 2016) include some purpose- and explanation-related senses."
