Description
This book discusses issues of complex sentences and discourse in sign and spoken languages, focusing on modality-specific and modality-independent aspects of such complex structures. The chapters address prosodic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of complex sentences and text/discourse structures from an empirical, typological, and theoretical perspective.
