Subordination
Sonia Cristofaro
This book presents a typology of subordination systems across the world's languages. Traditional definitions of subordination are based on morphosyntactic criteria, such as clausal embedding or non-finiteness. The book shows that these definitions are untenable in a cross-linguistic
perspective, and provides a cognitively based definition of subordination.
