Abstract:

This collection presents novel insights into the micro- and
macro-variation of causal clauses from a cross-linguistic perspective.
It contains a general introduction to the topic setting the scene and
nine chapters based on data from Dutch, German, English, Icelandic,
Chinese, and Japanese. Topics discussed in the individual chapters
involve, inter alia, external, internal and linear syntax of adverbial
clauses expressing a causal relation, their semantic interpretation
and information-structural properties, verb position, volitionality,
and the development of particular causal conjunctions. The findings
gained here are of synchronic and diachronic nature and offer new
theoretical perspectives on how causal dependency relationships are
expressed by inherent causal morpho-syntactic patterns. They also
provide a deeper comprehension of how sentential modifiers work,
emerge, and develop in general. This volume is an asset to
grammarians, syntacticians, theoretical, and historical linguists.
