Abstract If there is one question that has excited students of language genesis and language evolution perhaps more than any others then it is the one that we listed in Chapter 1 as (1n), namely: How did the properties believed to be restricted to modern human languages arise, in particular syntax and the recursive use of language ...

In subordinate clauses, the C position is occupied by a complementizer word, which may be null. The finite verb stays in V. SpecCP is either empty or occupied by a wh-word, or by some other element indicating its semantic function. Nominal clauses are finite or non-finite. Finite nominal clauses are declarative or interrogative.

Abstract The main aim of this chapter is to examine adverbial causal af-því-að-clauses in modern Icelandic. Semantically, we argue that af-því-að-clauses can be interpreted as eventuality-related, as evidential or as speech-act-related causal clauses. Syntactically, we show that af-því-að-clauses can be analyzed as central, peripheral or disintegrated ...

Main Clause Phenomena in Subordinate Clauses
Language, 1976University of Illinois A number of syntactic constructions claimed by linguists to be restricted to main clauses are shown to occur, in fact, in a variety of subordinate clause types, but only under certain mysterious conditions-basically, when the speaker desires to be understood as committed to the truth of the subordinate clause.

Subordinate clauses and discourse
Paper in Linguistics, 1982Abstract In this paper I discuss adverbial subordinate clauses from the point of view of their function in discourse. It is shown that in various languages there are parallels between the levels of simple sentence and complex sentence in respect to the expression of discourse meaning: (a) adverbial subordinate clauses, like thematic elements (e.g.
