In most cases, clauses headed by que or porque are semantically ambiguous between an explicative and a causal reading. By convention, these ambiguous cases are treated as causal adverbial clauses and they are labeled CP-ADV.
However, in some restricted cases, que/porque-clauses clearly express not the cause of the state of affairs described in the previous clause, but the motivation or the justification for the enunciation of the previous clause. In such cases, illustrated below, que/porque-clauses are taken as explicative clauses and they are annotated as root CP-D:
