Typological outlook --Conclusion --Notes --References --Subject index --Author indexThis study argues that the domain traditionally covered by 'coordination' and 'subordination' in English can be subdivided into four distinct construction types. The constructions are defined on the basis of differences in their 'interpersonal' structure, i.e. the grammatical encoding of speaker-attitude and speaker-interlocutor interaction. It is shown that the four types constitute syntactically, semantically and pragmatically coherent categories, with differences in interpersonal structure defining and motivating distinct syntactic behaviour, distinct pragmatic functions and distinct semantic classes of clause linkage. The validity of the analysis is demonstrated in three ways. First, it is shown that the analysis can make sense of the wide range of apparently conflicting criteria found in the literature on complex sentences, which can now be explained as reflections of four different construction types rather than as alternative perspectives on one single contrast between coordination and subordination. Second, it is shown how the analysis can deal with two specific problems in the more general area of clause combining, viz. the syntactic basis of the distinction between 'content', 'epistemic' and 'speech act' levels of clause linkage, and the distinct discursive functions associated with initial and final position of adverbial clauses. Finally, it is also shown that the proposed analysis is useful beyond the analysis of English, with parallels in a number of cross-linguistically recurrent phenomena of clause linkage. The book is mainly of interest to linguistics researchers in the areas of syntax, semantics and pragmatics as well as to graduate students with a focus on these fields.Topics in English linguistics ;55.English languageModalityEnglish languageAdverbEnglish languageClausesEnglish / language.pragmatics.semantics.syntax.English languageModality.English languageAdverb.English languageClauses.425HF 305SEPArvkVerstraete Jean-Christophe1976-1092381MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788425603321Rethinking the coordinate-subordinate dichotomy3825572UNINA01669nas 2200493-a 450 991014487740332120250117194937.01993-503X(CKB)1000000000241267(CONSER)--2008203037(DE-599)ZDB2276934-1(MiAaPQ)54346(EXLCZ)99100000000024126720020927a20029999 --- aengtxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEarthquake engineering and engineering vibrationBeijing Ke xue chu ban she2002-1 online resourcePublisher: Springer Verlag, 2007-Refereed/Peer-reviewedPrint version: Earthquake engineering and engineering vibration (Beijing, China : 2002) (DLC)--2008203037 (OCoLC)50683579 1671-3664 Earthquake engineeringPeriodicalsVibrationPeriodicalsVibrationResearchPeriodicalsEnginyeria sísmicathubGeologiathubVibracióthubRevistes electròniques.thubEarthquake engineeringVibrationVibrationResearchEnginyeria sísmicaGeologiaVibracióGuo jia di zhen ju gong cheng li xue yan jiu suo (China)Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (U.S.)JOURNAL9910144877403321exl_impl conversionEarthquake engineering and engineering vibration2274555UNINA
