The empirical focus is word order in embedded clauses, with special attention to clauses in which one or more constituents surface to the left of a subordinating conjunction. It is proposed that two such types of left peripheral fronting should be distinguished. The proposed analyses shed light not only on the clausal left periphery, but also on the overall structure of the Latin clause. The study is couched in the framLinguistik aktuell ;Bd. 184.Latin languageClausesLatin languageWord orderElectronic books.Latin languageClauses.Latin languageWord order.475Danckaert Lieven Jozef Maria747551MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461109003321Latin embedded clauses2177257UNINA
