Item description from seller

XV, 321 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - This study deals with the analysis of complex sentences in English, focus-ing on constructions that have traditionally been described as coordinate and adverbial subordinate. The basic argument developed in this study is that the central functional principle underlying the System of complex sentence formation in English is the interpersonal organization of the complex sentence structure. The domain of interpersonal grammar (Halli-day 1994, also known as the domain of 'subjectivity' from the work of Traugott 1989 or Langacker 1990) Covers those aspects of grammatical organization that deal with the encoding of speaker-attitude and speaker-interlocutor interaction, like modal verbs (e.g. may, must, have to), mood types (e.g. indicative, imperative) or basic clause types (e.g. declarative, interrogative, imperative). In this study, I will show that different types of complex sentence constructions can be defined and distinguished from each other in terms of the relative interpersonal Status of their component clauses, operationalized in terms of three basic grammatical features.
