As a gateway to central questions in linguistics, non-finiteness is unavoidable in both typological studies and aspects of natural language processing, such as text segmentation and annotation. This study presents a process relation framework to ex...Loe edasi...

This volume takes a typological approach to clause chaining, a fascinating feature of the grammar of hundreds of languages used to organize discourse and to foreground or background events and participants. It examines general issues and offers case...Loe edasi...

Advances a novel approach to argument structure within the context of Chomskys Minimalist Program-- A novel theory of argument structure based on the order in which verbs and their arguments combine across a variety of languages and lan...Loe edasi...

This volume explores the compositional semantics of clausal complementation, and proposes a theory in which clause-embedding predicates are uniformly “question-oriented”, i.e., they take a set of propositions as their semantic argument. This theor...Loe edasi...
The volume explores clause-linkage strategies from a cross-linguistic perspective with an emphasis on asyndetic constructions. The data-driven approaches focus on areal differences and similarities in using non-finite verb forms in complex sentences...Loe edasi...

Non-finiteness is a phenomenon that occurs in most natural languages, whereby a verb is not inflected by grammatical tense, and does not possess the grammatical features of aspect, mood or voice. Various theories have been developed to explain the...Loe edasi...
One of the most intriguing features of languages is that speakers can produce novel grammatical utterances that they have never heard before. Consequently, most linguists agree that the mental grammars of speakers are complex systems that must be mor...Loe edasi...
Many of the worlds languages permit or require clause-initial positioning of the primary predicate, potentially alongside some or all of its dependents. While such predicate fronting (where fronting may or may not involve movement) is a widespread...Loe edasi...

Control, typically defined as a specific referential dependency between the null-subject of a non-finite embedded clause and a co-dependent of the matrix predicate, has been subject to extensive research in the last 50 years. While there is a broad c...Loe edasi...
