In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that they have additional functions. Some of these functions are semantic in the sense that they represent conventional contributions to the meanings of the complements. The present book puts a focus to these semantic complementizer functions UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110416619 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110416619 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110416619/original ER -
