<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:107%"><font face="georgia, serif">As you know, adverbial clause-linking
devices (e.g. ‘when’, ‘after’, ‘until’) are primarily used to establish a semantic
relation between two or more situations. However, adverbial clause-linking
devices may bear additional functions beside the specific relation they encode
(e.g. they may function as switch-reference markers, information structure
markers, etc.). To the best of my knowledge, Mauri & Giacalone Ramat (2015)
and Mauri (2016) have explored the range of additional functions of devices
expressing ‘or’. However, the additional functions of adverbial clause-linking
devices are unexplored territory. In the languages of my sample, I have noticed
that temporal adverbial clause-linking devices may bear additional functions
beside the specific relation they encode. A case in point comes from ‘and then’
devices. They may function as pause-fillers, they may indicate same-subject and
different-subject, they may indicate a change of scene, they may express
whether a situation is expected or unexpected, and they may express different
amounts of time between situations, among others. <span></span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:107%"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:107%"><font face="georgia, serif">I was wondering if you
are aware of any research that has explored the additional function of temporal
adverbial clause-linking devices. I was also wondering if you are aware of any
languages in which devices expressing <i>when</i>-relations, <i>while</i>-relations,
<i>before</i>-relations, <i>after</i>-relations, and <i>until</i>-relations
have developed additional functions beside the specific relation they encode. <span></span></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="line-height:107%"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></span></p>
