✦ Synopsis

The volume is a collection of thirteen papers given at the “Third Syntax of the World’s Languages” conference, complemented with four additional papers as well as an introduction by the editors. All contributions deal with clause combining, focusing on one or both of the following two dimensions of analysis: properties of the clauses involved, types of dependency. The studies are data-driven and have a cross-linguistic or typological orientation. In addition to survey papers the volume contains in-depth studies of particular languages, mostly based on original data collected in recent field work.

This study utilizes a cross-linguistic approach to establish a general framework for the investigation of syntactic change. It reveals shared properties of changes across languages, determines what mechanisms lie behind them, and how they correlate to the overall explanation of syntactic change.
