syntactic functions of subordinate clauses

Swerts, Marc and Emiel Krahmer. Zoe’s laugh punctuates. than in L or in R. Table 3 shows the gestural parameters we have considered as cues for foreground and their distribution in appositive relative clauses. Sc constructs a landmark for what follows, embedding R. 89To sum up, while the verbal features of adverbial clauses suggest a two-fold role both in referential elaboration and textual elaboration, their prosody signals background information, with a single focalisation cue. Relative structures can be used as a complex determiner just like adjectives, if the verb is reduced to its specifying or qualifying function (see examples (3) and (4) below). The Hague: Mouton, 1974. According to our analytical needs, we distinguish between two broad functions. It has also been found that many newly grammaticizing constructions occur preferentially in main clauses (Giv6n 1979). Consider the following examples: - How did you do it? Index. . Verbal features tested in Restrictive Relative Clauses.15. [(a) my mum’s pushing ] me to get my license. Morristown, NJ: Association for Computational Linguistics, 1992. Baumann, Stefan and Martine Grice. R is not accompanied by any hand gesture (c), although this segment describes the first event triggering the complication. Key words: subordinate clauses, syntactic features, nominal clauses, adnominal relative clauses 1. (2) Subordinate clauses should represent old information (Hopper 1979) as opposed to main clauses presenting new information, and (3) provide little contribution to their embedding sequence (Longacre 1996), while main clauses are assumed to move the discourse forward with segments directly fulfilling the sequential discourse purpose. “An Annotation Scheme for Conversational Gestures: How to Economically Capture Timing and Form.”, Kita, Sotaro, Ingeborg Van Gijn and Harry Van der Hulst. Potts (2005) also describes the content of appositive relative clauses as non-asserted, as it cannot be directly questioned. Key words: text type, subordinate clauses, formal and functional analysis Introduction The description of a particular language usually concentrates on accurate representation of the forms and structures used in that language. Each selected occurrence was classified in regards to its contribution to the main discourse sequence (essential, non-essential to the structure) and its discourse purpose (main, sub-sequence, side), . A salient structure is thus the result, or outcome, of focalisation as a process. Tom’s argumentation remains coherent: what bothers him is being misled on a product’s origins. Initial temporal relative clauses are “grammatical signals” indicating the opening of a new discourse unit, which they frame (Brown and Yule 1983; Chafe 1984; Charolles 1997; Longacre 1996; Van Dijk 1977; Virtanen 1992). According to these functions, subordinate clauses fall in the following categories: subject clauses, object clauses, adverbial clauses and attributive clauses. Van Valin, Robert D. and Randy LaPolla. Georgetown University, 2004. Figure 7 positions them on a continuum from background to foreground, including intermediate communicational strategies. Within a discourse sequence, a distinction is made between discourse units fulfilling the main purpose of the sequence, those contributing to any pre-requisite to the fulfilment of the main purpose (which are thus related to the sequence, and are relevant at a sub-sequential level), and those dealing with intervening, side purposes. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1997. Subordinate clauses can be divided into four major categories: nominal, adverbial, relative and comparative, as described in detail below. past participle: They arrived dressed in street clothes. Final adverbial clauses play a more restricted, local role, explicitly unfolding the spatio-temporal scene in which the action described in the previous clause is achieved (Muller 2006). 2017. Eyebrow movement, especially rises, is linked to prosody, particularly to focalisation and emphasis (Granström and House 2005). 2007). 33In this study, gesture includes co-speech bodily movement that is considered part of an utterance, following Kendon’s (2004) definition. self-contact gestures used for comfort, were included although they cannot be considered as communicative gestures, because they give information on the organisation of turns, being more frequent when the participant is listening. Final adverbial clauses suggest exhaustiveness before a potential question from the co-speaker about the preceding utterance (Muller 2008). Norris, Sigrid. . This paper focuses on the adverbial clauses introduced by “when”. The native video recordings were transformed into MPEG-4 stereo files, with a rate of 25 frames per second. The unit formed by L and Sc could be glossed as “I’m coming back for someone, but that someone is not even there”. They feature the highest distribution of state verbs, denoting a permanent feature of the grammatical subject. Appositive relatives are also classified as adverbials (Biber. Si de nombreux travaux se consacrent à leurs caractéristiques verbales, peu d’études choisissent d’examiner l’articulation entre les différentes modalités communicatives lors de leur production, et de fournir une vision plus nuancée de leur apport informationnel. Just like larger syntactic units, individual syntactic constituents are also characterised by their own internal structure. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2009. . how often), condition, cause and effect; and intensity (i.e. How Are Three Syntactic Types of Subordinate Clauses Different in Terms of Informational Weight? Krifka, Manfred. The antecedent is a member of a class which can only be identified by the information given by the modification. At the level of discourse, the distribution of cataphoric referential elements in L is the highest among both subordinate constructions and the different segments while that of anaphoric elements is in R (L: < .0001). Arnold, Doug and Robert D. Borsley. A subordinate unit is signalled by downwards changes in key (i.e. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1996. Rhianna first mentions an adverse opinion in L, as an argumentative move in its own right: her mother would like her to get her license. Lazard (1994: 81) describes adverbial clauses as “required as part of the communicative target”, but not from the point of view of grammatical agency. Between Semantics and Pragmatics. Quirk et al. However, one of their most distinct tendencies concerns their capacity to have extendable interpretative and textual scopes; a majority of them predicate information that remains relevant for the interpretation of two or more tone-units: opens a discourse frame as well as a distinct substructure, developing a narrative-like description of air turbulence. De Vries, Mark. The co-speaker can indeed directly react to. “Centering: a Framework for Modeling the Local Coherence of Discourse.”, Haiman, John and Sandra A. Thompson. Berkeley, CA: eLanguage, 1984. Toulouse: Presses Universitaires du Mirail, 2003. The head beat in example (11) shows that adverbial clauses simultaneously participate to the textual structuring of discourse with their co-occurring gestures. L and Sc provide a coherent informational unit, showing no hierarchy. “Discourse Functions of Tense-aspect Distinctions in Narrative: Toward a Theory of Grounding.”. The Anatomy of Meaning: Speech, Gesture and Composite Utterances. “De la topicalité des adverbiaux détachés en tête de phrase.” Travaux de Linguistique 47–2 (2003): 11–49. Grosz, Barbara J., Aravind K. Joshi and Scott Weinstein. Their succession in co-occurrence with the verb and its object complement highlights the predicate and the process it describes, pragmatically indexing the most relevant informational content in the sequence. From the point of view of utterer-based grammar, they are seen as performing secondary specification on predications. Comma Placement Level 2: Restrictive vs. Nonrestrictive Clauses. Matthiessen, Christian and Sandra A. Thompson. “Social Eye Gaze Modulates Processing of Speech and Cospeech Gesture.” Cognition 133–3 (2014): 692–697. How an educator uses Prezi Video to approach adult learning theory; Nov. 11, 2020. syntactic function complement presence of items complementizer zu finite clauses + +-non-finite clauses +-+ - + + The data are well known, but to my knowledge the question has never been addressed just why a lexical complementizer must not appear in the left periphery of a non-finite complement clause. 5. New York and London, UK: Routledge, 2004. “Audiovisual Prosody and Feeling of Knowing.” Journal of Memory and Language 53 (2005): 81–94. Kuroda (1968) analyses the difference with respect to deep structure, as a contrast between determ, While an adverbial clause modifies another clause, a relative clause modifies a nominal expression or a whole clause. Table 6 shows the distribution of the gestural cues for foreground in adverbial clauses. “Où en est-on de l’opposition relative restrictive / relative appositive ?” L’Information Grammaticale 7 (1980): 12–17. Wells, John C. English Intonation: An Introduction. Retrieved 26 December 2012 from http://www.icphs2007.de/. An asterisk (*) signals a statistically significant result (p < .05). “Givenness, contrastiveness, definiteness, subjects, topics, and point of view.” In C. N. Li (ed. Larreya, Paul. ), Connectives as Discourse Landmarks. On the contrary, main clauses should feature process verbs and express dynamicity. In S. L. Eerdmans, C. L. Prevignano, and P. J. Thibault (eds). Predictable grammatical correlates of grounding are still assumed, but are considered relative by a number of studies (. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2003. . Appositive relative clauses do not bring a substantial propositional input, as shown by their low transitivity and their capacity to insert modality in the discourse. Following Lyons, we can sub-divide the latter further into compound and complexunits. The function of adverbial clauses is to “signal that several clauses appearing in the thread of a text have the same relation with a certain criterion, and can thus be grouped inside units” called frames (Charolles 2003, Péry-Woodley 2000: 62). Just as other predicates, they are not included in choices occurring at a lower level, such as the choice of their arguments. ), Information Sharing: Reference and Presupposition in Language Generation and Interpretation. This participant, or “pivot”, has a semantic role in both the relative clause and the matrix clause containing the modified nominal (Langacker 2008: 424). The syntactic functions of the subordinate clauses include those of a subject, object, adverbial and attributive adjective to the clause on which they depend. The simultaneous realisation of two uneven hand gestures in height and size denotes a semantic subordination through the use of form and space (Enfield 2009), contrasting with a preceding gesture sequence. 12 The table follows the reading model of Table 1, but concerns adverbial clauses. Ambiguous types were resolved with discussion between the two coders and agreement was reached on the main dimension of gesture types. “Narrative Analysis: Oral Versions of Personal Experience.” In J. “Non-restrictive Relative Clauses, Ellipsis and Anaphora.”, Auer, Peter. These syntactic constructions stand out from their co-text with an immediate upstep in pitch, and show more modulation. Her gaze on this gesture has a deictic value. “On the Boundaries of Syntax: Non-syntagmatic Relations.” In P. Collins & D. Lee (eds. “Subordination and coordination in syntax, semantics and discourse.” In C. Fabricius-Hansen and W. Ramm (eds. A nominal that- clause can function as a subject, object, complement, or appositive in a declarative sentence. 113This study aimed at demonstrating that a composite, contextual vision of linguistic communication sheds new light on discourse subordination, which derives from numerous interactions between verbal, vocal, and visual components. All the annotations made in Praat where then exported into Elan (Sloetjes and Wittenburg 2008), a video annotation tool, to relate information in the different domains. “how/when did it happen?”), while side structures answer a completely different question, implying a topic digression. Subordinate clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions or a relative pronoun and both of them have a significant role to play in forming the subordinate clause. While their gestures and prosody indicate local salience, the verbal features of appositive relative clauses clearly mark background information. Lazard, Gilbert. “Salience”, on the contrary, reflects the point of view of perception. “De la topicalité des adverbiaux détachés en tête de phrase.”, Cotte, Pierre. In line with this modal and/or pragmatic level of action, appositive relative clauses feature the highest distribution of eyebrow rises both in their host sequence (L: < .05) with 60% of rises produced in their host sequence. New York: Academic Press, 1976. “A Multimodal Approach to Markedness in Spoken French.”, Fleischman, Suzanne. Each participant had a lavalier microphone, which provided two separate audio tracks. Wallace, Stephen. Local, John. , after which Tom finds a rest position (d). The particularities are detailed for each syntactic type from the most auxiliary construction to the most foregrounded one. Their verbal marks clearly participate to the foreground, increasing not only their salience (, they are easily distinguished from the co-text given their markedness) but also their relevance (. Wyld, Henry. Amsterdam and Philadelphia, PA: John Benjamins, 1992. Charolles, Michel. Christchurch, NZ: CSLI Publications (2004), 391–397. The second coder is also a specialist of the field. All the annotations made in Praat where then exported into Elan. Retrieved 28 November 2013 from http://www.lat-mpi.eu/tools/elan/. Rhianna marks this information with a sweep of her right hand corresponding to the verbal item “pushing” (a). Gesture: Visible Action as Utterance. A clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb and forms a simple sentence or part of non-simple sentence. Unlike “which” which links the referent it modifies with the contextual situation (Melis 2008), “that” as a relative pronoun is object-oriented (defining a property of the object) and is neutral in terms of utterer-based modality. 36Gaze often moves away from the co-speaker for discourse elaboration as soon as the speaking turn is taken and secured (Beattie 1978; Streeck 2014). Finally, Ferré (2014) proposes a multimodal approach to markedness in discourse. constructs a landmark for what follows, embedding R. To sum up, while the verbal features of adverbial clauses suggest a two-fold role both in referential elaboration and textual elaboration, their prosody signals background information, with a single focalisation cue. Chafe, Wallace. Gestural features tested in Adverbial Clauses14, number of hand gestures with a representational function out of a total of 52 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), number of hand gestures with an organisational function out of a total of 117 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), high hand gestures out of a total of 30 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), low hand gestures out of a total of 77 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), held hand gestures out of a total of 21 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), hand beats out of a total of 20 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), head beats out of a total of 37 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), gaze units away out of a total number of 96 in sequences (L+ Sc +R), eyebrow rises out of a total of 17 in sequences (L+ Sc +R). Basically, a subordinate clause cannot function as a complete sentence. Ambiguous types were resolved with discussion between the two coders and agreement was reached on the main dimension of gesture types. past participle: They arrived dressed in street clothes. The second coder is also a specialist of the field. A text is here considered as a coherent structured semiotic entity. 18 The first track shows the speech transcription in tone-units, the second transcription track shows segments –L, Sc– in the sequence, the third transcription track gives Momel’s corrected F0 values in Hz, and the fourth transcription track shows Intsint’s coded values. However, appositive relatives have distinct illocutionary contents. Table 9 presents the gestural characteristics of restrictive relative clauses. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2008. 17 The table follows the reading model of Table 7, except the first column (which gives the number of gestures showing each feature per segment) and the last column (which gives the percentage of the gestures in restrictive relative clauses out of the total of gestures in the sequence – L+Sc+R). Quirk, Randolph, Sidney Greenbaum, Geoffrey Leech, and Jan Svartvik. This vocal mark points out the important textual role of the subordinate segment to the co-speaker. “Looking at space to study mental spaces: co-speech gesture as a crucial data source in cognitive linguistics.” In M. Gonzalez-Marquez, I. Mittleberg, S. Coulson and M. Spivey (eds. In example (2), Tim does not directly state that he has passed his driving licence, but uses it as part of the common ground between speakers to establish a contrast with the following utterance. Their modifying scope varies from a single nominal referent to a verb phrase or a whole clause (Longacre 1996). major levels in a speaker’s pitch range) or in pitch height. INTRODUCTION The three structural types of clauses in English, specifically finite clauses, non-finite clauses and verbless clauses are discussed in the paper. ), Lytvynova, Maryna and Huy Linh Dao. However, they all support the fact that several broad types of relative clauses can be distinguished (Kleiber 1980)5. Jackendoff, Ray. Restrictive relative clauses increase their production of hand beat gestures. 76In sum, appositive relative clauses show a certain form of macro-syntactic autonomy in that they represent independent speech acts. Figure 2: Eyebrow rise during the gestural realisation of example (11), with a lower hand gesture in Sc (b) than that in L (a). In M. Seyfeddinipur and M. Gullberg (eds. PhD Thesis, University of Amsterdam. Talmy, Leonard. However. Different degrees between foreground and background in discourse are consequently identified from the new perspective afforded by multimodality, providing a qualified picture of the communicational weight of subordinate constructions. While very little work has been conducted on subordinate constructions from a multimodal perspective, a large body of research has detailed prosodic subordination (. < 05). Intonation in Text and Discourse. brief downward chin movements) and nods, can emphasise particular entities (Cavé et al. 1995). In this sense, abstract organisational gestures are traditionally associated to the discourse background, Similarly, held gestures are used to modify meaning in real time (McNeill 2005). (1985: 1257) and Biber et al. “The Role of Salience in the Production of Referring Expressions: A Psycholinguistic Perspective.” In K. van Deemter and R. Kibble (eds. En syntaxe, les constructions subordonnées sont décrites comme des structures dépendantes, qui spécifient ou élaborent l, information de premier plan dans le discours. 88While sharing a single prosodic contour with L, Sc’s final syllable is higher than the initial one (284 Hz vs. 219 Hz) and does not match R’s beginning, which is downstepped (Intsint “D” value). According to Muller (2006), relative clauses are roughly equivalent to adjectives given their function as adnominal adjuncts. The exchange space they create can mainly be seen with their gestures, reflecting pragmatic preoccupations above the representational level. Rhianna resumes her main argumentation line in R with a much more categorical expression: while bent in assent during, she holds herself upright in R and accompanies the next tone-units with a continuous negative head shake. Complement 4. Iconics are “images of concrete entities and/or action”, whereas metaphorics are "images of the abstract" involving a metaphoric use of form and/or space, . In Discourse Analysis, the syntactic notion of subordination is enlarged to the rules governing the organisation of discourse segments. In face-to-face conversation, participants negotiate meaning through multimodal contributions, in which the linguistic resources of speech interface with gesture. Providing some propositional content and a textual framing signal. Adverbial clause (Transcription conventions are provided in the Appendix at the end of the paper). Subordination. It refers to the cognitive mechanism deriving from the attentional state, in which one element is perceived by the co-speaker as standing out among others. Introducteurs de cadres et centrage.” Verbum 22–1 (2000): 59–78. (1995) and to Van Kuppevelt (1995), discourse is composed of series of sequences, each one carrying a distinct communicative purpose with specific goals and intentions. McNeill, David. “Givenness, contrastiveness, definiteness, subjects, topics, and point of view.” In C. N. Li (ed. Positioned at the centre of the continuum, they provide comprehensive messages, both concerned with referential elaboration and with textual sequential organisation, distributing the propositional content in homogeneous blocks. Hirschberg, Julia and Barbara Grosz. shows more movement than R, with a 68-Hz F0 variation. ), Gosselin, Laurent. Other possible complements include prepositional phrases, such as for Jim in the clause They waited for Jim; predicative expressions, such as red in The ball is red; subordinate clauses, which may be introduced by a subordinating conjunction such as if, when, because, that, for example the that-clause in I suggest that you wait for her; and non-finite clauses, such as eating jelly in the sentence I like eating jelly. “Aspect and Foregrounding in Discourse”. In example (1) further above, the adverbial clause answers a potential question from the co-speaker about the details in which “I tried driving once in her car” occurred. Table 2 features the prosodic cues we have included in the analysis and their distribution in appositive relative clauses. “Can Speaker Gaze Modulate Syntactic Structuring and Thematic Role Assignment during Spoken Sentence Comprehension?” Frontiers in Psychology 3 (2012): 1–15. Likewise, representing referents through hand gestures is a cumulative process, often achieved through a series of several gesture units (Streeck 2009). 27However, the configurations between events and discourse-related material have been shown to depend on pragmatic and cognitive considerations such as the starting points speakers choose to convey their message (Vallduví and Engdahl 1996; Thompson 2002) instead of semantic weight. anche-Benveniste (1990: 19) explains that some elements can agglutinate around the verbal nucleus of a clause, but are only “associated” with the verbal construction. The table follows the reading model of Table 7 (restrictive relative clauses). “Salience”, on the contrary, reflects the point of view of perception. “Prosodic Boundaries in Subordinate Syntactic Constructions.” In Speech Prosody. The weak distribution of prosodic cues in the expression of foreground suggests that speakers preferentially use this modality for demarcation. Haiman and S. A.
