Abstract:
Since natural languages exist in two different modalities – the
visual-gestural modality of sign languages and the auditory-oral modality of
spoken languages – it is obvious that all fields of research in modern
linguistics will benefit from research on sign languages. Although previous
studies have provided important insights into a wide range of phenomena of
sign languages, there are still many aspects of sign languages that have not
yet been investigated thoroughly. The structure of subordinated clauses is a
case in point. The study of these complex syntactic structures in the
visual-gestural modality adds to our understanding of linguistic variation in
the domain of subordination. Moreover, it offers new empirical and theoretical
evidence concerning possible structures and functions of subordination in
natural languages. And last but not least, it answers the question to what
extent the corresponding morphosyntactic and prosodic strategies depend on the
modality of articulation and perception. This volume represents the first
collection of papers by leading experts in the field investigating topics that
go beyond the analysis of simple clauses. It thus contributes in innovative
ways to recent debates about syntax, prosody, semantics, discourse structure,
and information structure and their complex interrelation.
