Abstract:

This book provides a collection of articles on subordination in English framed
from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. It covers ample areas of
the history of the major subordinated structures of English and their recent
development in various native and non-native varieties. Most contributions are
based on large electronic databases and corpora of written and spoken texts.
The book focuses on the continuum that links subordinated and coordinated
structures in a fluid way, shows their permanent state of flux, and sheds
light on the whole system's dynamic essence by discussing a large number of
explanatory principles at work in shaping it. Many of these are well-known
from the grammaticalization and the Construction Grammar theories, such as the
concepts of attractor, multi-sourcing, inheritance, categorial incursion,
metaphorization or exaptation. This volume represents the latest trends in the
field by some of its most prestigious specialists.
