'Subordination' versus 'coordination' in sentence and text a cross-linguistic perspective

Fabricius-Hansen, Cathrine. (Added Author). Ramm, Wiebke. (Added Author).

Summary: The papers collected in this volume (including a comprehensive introduction) investigate semantic and discourse-related aspects of subordination and coordination, in particular the relationship between subordination/coordination at the sentence level and subordination/coordination - or hierarchical/non-hierarchical organization - at the discourse level. The contributions in part I are concerned with central theoretical questions; part II consists of corpus-based cross-linguistic studies of clause combining and discourse structure, involving at least two of the languages English, German, Dutch.
