Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- The typology of clause linkage: status quo, challenges, prospects -- Clausal juxtaposition and subordination: New light from Otomi -- The multi-purpose subordinator na in Laz -- Morphosyntactic properties and scope behavior of ‘subordinate’ clauses in Puma (Kiranti) -- External agreement in the converbal construction of Northern Akhvakh -- Adverbial clauses in the Tsezic languages -- Relativization in Ket -- New strategies for relative clauses in Azeri and Apsheron Tat -- Patterns of relativization in North Asia: Towards a refined typology of prenominal participial relative clauses -- Participial complementation in Lithuanian -- Participial and infinitival complement sentences in Ancient Greek -- Relative clauses with adverbial meaning: A quantitative investigation of hybrid adjunct clauses in Latin -- Switch-reference and temporal reference in Mian -- The performance basis of grammatical constraints on complex sentences: A preliminary survey -- Contributors -- Subject index -- Language index
Summary: The volume is a collection of thirteen papers given at the “Third Syntax of the World’s Languages” conference, complemented with four additional papers as well as an introduction by the editors. All contributions deal with clause combining, focusing on one or both of the following two dimensions of analysis: properties of the clauses involved, types of dependency. The studies are data-driven and have a cross-linguistic or typological orientation. In addition to survey papers the volume contains in-depth studies of particular languages, mostly based on original data collected in recent field work.
