Ce livre présente un état des lieux clair, rigoureux et complet, de la subordination en français, couvrant toutes les variétés du français écrit ou parlé, reçues ou non par la norme : les cinq types fondamentaux de subordonnées forment un système syntaxique structuré, cohérent et complet, où trouvent place des énoncés généralement laissés de côté, tels que par exemple Il n'y a pas de quoi se vanter, Observe ton chat comment il se comporte, C'est un miracle s'il n'y a pas eu de blessés, Ca me rend fou quand je vois ça.L'examen est mené dans un cadre théorique qui s'appuie sur la tradition sans y être soumis. Des éclaircissements sont apportés en vue de l'usage pratique de la langue, sur les points délicats, pour permettre à chacun de choisir en connaissance de cause. L'exposé s'accompagne d'une réflexion théorique suscitée par les nombreuses questions que pose la subordination : Pourquoi, en français comme dans une bonne partie des langues du monde, les mots interrogatifs et les mots subordonnants sont-ils largement les mêmes ? Pourquoi est-ce seulement au milieu du XIXe siècle qu'on a distingué entre coordination et subordination ?

This book presents the first comprehensive typology of purpose clause constructions in the world's languages. Based on a stratified variety sample of 80 languages, it uncovers the unity and diversity of the morphosyntactic means by which purposive relations are coded, and discusses the status of purpose clauses in the syntactic and conceptual space of complex sentences. Explanations for significantly recurrent coding patterns are couched in a usage-based approach to language structure, which pays due attention to the cognitive and communicative pressures on usage events involving purpose clauses, to frequency distributions of grammatical choices in corpora, and to the ways in which usage preferences conventionalize in pathways of diachronic change. The book integrates diverse previous strands of research on purpose clauses with a thorough empirical analysis in its own right and thus reflects the current state of the art of crosslinguistic research into this distinctive type of adverbial clause.An appendix to A Typology of Purpose Clauses can be found on the author's website: www.karsten-schmidtke.net/purpose.

The papers collected in this volume (including a comprehensive introduction) investigate semantic and discourse-related aspects of subordination and coordination, in particular the relationship between subordination/coordination at the sentence level and subordination/coordination - or hierarchical/non-hierarchical organization - at the discourse level. The contributions in part I are concerned with central theoretical questions; part II consists of corpus-based cross-linguistic studies of clause combining and discourse structure, involving at least two of the languages English, German, Dutch, French and Norwegian; part III contains papers addressing specific - predominantly semantic - topics relating to German, English or French; and the papers in part IV approach the topic of subordination, coordination and rhetorical relations from a diachronic (Old Indic and Early Germanic) perspective. The book aims to contribute to a better understanding of information packaging on the sentence and text level related, within a particular language as well as cross-linguistically.
