syntactic functions of subordinate clauses

“Les circonstanciels : de la phrase au texte.”, Granström, Björn and David House. The increase in representational gestures is illustrated in example (11) in the Discussion section. 46The corpus was segmented into tone-units, according to the British school of intonation (Crystal 1969; Wells 2006) based on dynamic pitch contours. “Où en est-on de l’opposition relative restrictive / relative appositive ?” L’Information Grammaticale 7 (1980): 12–17. Charolles, Michel. “A Praat Plugin for Momel and INTSINT with Improved Algorithms for Modelling and Coding Intonation.” Proceedings of the XVIth International Conference of Phonetic Sciences, 2007. Matthiessen, Christian and Sandra A. Thompson. Hirschberg, Julia and Barbara Grosz. Tom’s argumentation remains coherent: what bothers him is being misled on a product’s origins. Finally, Ferré (2014) proposes a multimodal approach to markedness in discourse. 5 To see in more detail how subordinate clauses are embedded in main clauses, we return to the clause patterns and elements previewed in the chapter of the basic structures of the clause. En syntaxe, les constructions subordonnées sont décrites comme des structures dépendantes, qui spécifient ou élaborent l’information de premier plan dans le discours. Emonds (1979) and Cotte (2008) describe restrictive relative clauses as “attached, relative structures compared to appositive relative clauses, which are “detached”, iconically marking out the distance of the object. “La relation au verbe principal dans les relatives prédicatives en français.”. (1985) regard appositive relative clauses as semantically equivalent to coordinate clauses. 45The corpus was segmented in discourse sequences (i.e. The agreement between coders was 81.9%. “Mutual Gaze and Recognition: Revisiting Kendon’s ‘Gaze Direction in Two-person Conversation’”. However, we note that they present a relatively high transitivity rate, with 25% of occurrences displaying a transitive verb, and are prone to dynamicity, as in (12): ’s verb denotes a punctual action (< try it >), which refers to eating a piece of cake. This sequence is then characterised with two successive modal positions which are not equal in intensity: the stance taken in R is stronger than that in Sc. The verbs in restrictive relative clauses are also characterised with the highest rate of direct transitivity: 27.5% of restrictive relative clauses feature a verb accepting a direct object (adverbials: p > .05; appositive relatives: F(39,39) = 1.8, p < .05). “Beyond Foreground and Background.” In R. S. Tomlin (ed. According to Reinhart (1984), only main clauses can belong to the foreground since subordinate clauses are considered to be presupposed. 16Subordinate constructions are relevant to examine language production and comprehension in real time, and present implications for discourse modelling. Initial temporal relative clauses are “grammatical signals” indicating the opening of a new discourse unit, which they frame. How Are Three Syntactic Types of Subordinate Clauses Different in Terms of Informational Weight? Table 6. (1995). As seen in the results section, no syntactic or semantic cue is mainly used to index foreground information in appositive relative clauses. 1: Intonation curve of example (10) in Praat, showing a rising-falling contour in Sc. Huddleston and Pullum 2002). They are more concerned with the organisational level of discourse, mainly giving information about the structure of these referents, and about the expression of a stance. Adverbial clauses belong to the discourse background, related to the predictions of the clause they modify (Dancygier & Sweetser 2000). ), “Subordination” versus “Coordination” in Sentence and Text. “Interaction of Audition and Vision for the Perception of Prosodic Contrastive Focus.” Language and Speech 52–2–3 (2009): 177–206. However, we are not aware of any work on subordination in MDA other than the study described in the present paper. L’Actance. ), Depraetere, Ilse. Its aim was to establish whether the affirmation that subordinate clauses constitute background information as opposed to their host main clauses holds true. 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. ), The Clause in English. “Movement Phases in Signs and Co-speech Gestures, and their Transcription by Human Coders.”, Kleiber, Georges. The Anatomy of Meaning: Speech, Gesture and Composite Utterances. “Intonation and Grammar.” In An Introduction to English Prosody. Amsterdam and Philadelphia, PA: John Benjamins, 2011. Table 5. In linguistics, most ‘multimodal’ studies are in fact rather bimodal, since they are mainly concerned with the relation of verbal phenomena to gesture. “La relation au verbe principal dans les relatives prédicatives en français.” Faits de Langue 31–32 (2008): 337–346. < 05). It has also been proposed that there may be a continuum of subordination even within one clause type (Tao and McCarthy 2001), and that certain subordinate clause types may not actually be best described as such, especially adverbials and appositive relative clauses (Depraetere 1996, Thompson 2002). The main structure corresponds to an appropriate answer to a critical, topic-defining question (e.g. Philadelphia: PA, 1996. This construction allows speakers to provide the co-speaker with more complex information about the antecedent than in non-relative structures, without the co-speaker having trouble processing it. Couper-Kuhlen, Elizabeth. Streeck, Jürgen. New York and London, UK: Routledge, 2004. She also raises her eyebrows in this design (Figure 2b’ is a close-up), taking a strong modal stance on L’s arguments, and marking Sc as a contrastive move. More specifically, the differentiation between restrictive relative clauses and appositive relatives on syntactic grounds is problematic (Borsley 1992, Arnold & Borsley 2008). Blühdorn, Hardarik. Gaze often moves away from the co-speaker for discourse elaboration as soon as the speaking turn is taken and secured (Beattie 1978; Streeck 2014). Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1997. In this type of Sc, while prosody generally encodes background information, gesture mainly signals prominence. Berlin, Germany. “The syntax of Appositive Relativization.” Linguistic Inquiry 37–2 (2006): 229–70. She positions herself as a participant in her narrative, contrary to L in which she does not describe any event but gives information about them as an utterer. 7 A text is here considered as a coherent structured semiotic entity. Krifka, Manfred. “Gesture and Ground.”, Cavé, Christian, Isabelle Guaïtella, Roxane Bertrand, Serge Santi, Françoise Harlay and Robert Espesser. Tübingen, Germany: Max Niemeyer Verlag, 1986. . 2007). This collaborative corpus gathers video recordings realised in soundproof studios between 2000 and 2012. Sequence (14) features a high final rising contour in Sc, represented in Figure 3: Figure 3: Extract in Praat of sequence (14), in which Sc features a high rising contour. 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: 86In sequence (13), Sc opens a discourse frame as well as a distinct substructure, developing a narrative-like description of air turbulence. “Expressing Communicative-weight Assignment Discourse Structurally.” Proceedings of the Workshop of Constraints on Discourse. 6Whether initial or final, localising frames raise the question of their more or less rigid relation to the verb of the clause they are grouped with4. R is a concluding evaluation, in this sense less informative. The antecedent is a member of a class which can only be identified by the information given by the modification. Figure 4: Metaphoric gesture in L in sequence (15), followed by a large iconic gesture in Sc. However, in discourse, communicative priorities can be reversed using only the co-reference function of an antecedent. They show the highest distribution of emphatic (rise-fall) contours on nuclear syllables with 15% of occurrences produced with such a contour. These constructions seek the establishment of a consensus between speaker and co-speaker, bearing on interactional felicity rather than propositional meaning. “Understanding Non-restrictive Which-clauses in Spoken English, Which is not an Easy Thing.” Language Sciences 23 (2001): 651–677. In the traditional division of clause complexes into two uneven and complementary subgroups, a main clause and a subordinate, modifiers are viewed as “optional” constituents functioning at a phrasal or clausal level: some elements of the message are deemed semantically useful without standing as constitutive elements. Transcription conventions are provided in the Appendix at the end of the paper), Traditional grammar does not detail in great length the syntactic link between adverbial clauses a, Adverbial clauses are seen as exterior to the frame built by “main” clauses, and are related to the clause they modify through a connector indicating their adverbial status (Gosselin 1990). In face-to-face conversation, participants negotiate meaning through multimodal contributions, in which the linguistic resources of speech interface with gesture. The main hypothesis, which arises from the consensus in the previous results, is based on the capacity of subordinate constructions to show distinct kinds of prominence depending on their syntactic type. In S. L. Eerdmans, C. L. Prevignano, and P. J. Thibault (eds). Subordinators or subordinating conjunctions usually introduce the subordinate clause in a sentence (see subordination and … Morristown, NJ: Association for Computational Linguistics, 1992. “Modal Density and Modal Configurations: Multimodal Actions.” In C. Jewitt (ed. The second coder is also a specialist of the field. The informational value of adverbial clauses then resides in their propensity to evolve in status, going from relevance for one tone-unit only to relevance for several successive tone-units. The subordinate clause is one that does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a separate grammatical entity since its meaning depends on the meaning of the main clause. On the contrary, an upstep on the initial syllable signals emphasis. A Cross-Linguistic Perspective. Thompson (2002) breaks out of the traditional grammatical frame, no longer regarding the class of relative clauses as subordinate structures, but as pertaining to conjunction phenomena. The last column gives the percentage of restrictive relative clauses showing each feature out of the total 40. Kipp, Michael, Michael Neff and Irene Albrecht. Each participant had a lavalier microphone, which provided two separate audio tracks. The Hague: Mouton, 1974. We are particularly interested in values which indicate a significant pitch reset (Top, Bottom), or a significant change in pitch key (Upstep —change towards a higher pitch range, Downstep— towards a lower pitch range). The exchange space they create can mainly be seen with their gestures, reflecting pragmatic preoccupations above the representational level. “Subordination and coordination in syntax, semantics and discourse.” In C. Fabricius-Hansen and W. Ramm (eds. After identifying and measuring the most relevant cues expressing foreground in the different modalities drawing on our assumptions, the three syntactic types can be placed on a continuum from background to foreground information. The organisational function is usually linked with types such as beats and metaphorics. “The syntax of Appositive Relativization.”, Dohen, Marion and Hélène Lœvenbruck. The informational value of adverbial clauses then resides in their propensity to evolve in status, going from episodic to global relevance. These modes do not work independently from one another, although a particular mode may weigh more than the others at some points. Focalisation participates in the elaboration of the foreground. Thompson, Sandra A. 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. 106This analysis presented a study of three types of subordinate clauses (appositive relative clauses, adverbial clauses and restrictive relative clauses) in a corpus of spoken English. The criterion for the identification of these levels in discourse structure is a potential question from the co-speaker. Such functions are used in main clause assertions, but rarely appropriate in ... constitutes a primary example of syntactic conservatism in subordinate clauses. 77The highest distribution of emphatic (rise-fall) contours in appositive relative clauses is shown in example (10) represented in Figure 1 below. 2As traditionally described in syntax and discourse analysis, modifiers in discourse subordination refer to elements specifying or elaborating upon some primary features, often described as additions associated to another propositional content in the host or embedding structure (Biber et al. The semantic frame-work I use is SDRT1, although I translate the conditions of an SDRS into a dependency graph. Lazard, Gilbert. (1999: 135) call for special levels of representation in subordination, with “telescoped relatives” and “peripheral elements” respectively. “Non-restrictive Relatives and Other Non-syntagmatic Relations in a Lexical-functional Framework.”. “Annoter du texte tu te demandes si c’est syntaxique tu vois.” Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Lexis and Grammar (LGC 2009). Stevenson, Rosemary. 12 The table follows the reading model of Table 1, but concerns adverbial clauses. Di Luzio (eds), The Contextualization of Language. ’s final rising contour indexes more talk to come, and centres the co-speaker’s attention on the forthcoming segment. According to these functions, subordinate clauses fall in the following categories: subject clauses, object clauses, adverbial clauses and attributive clauses. Des changements dans la configuration modale au fil de la séquence discursive contenant une subordonnée indiquent quant à eux que les modalités verbale, vocale, et gestuelle constituent des ressources dynamiques et flexibles pour exprimer de l’information d’arrière-plan ou de premier plan, en fonction de leur type syntaxique. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2008. Subordinate constructions should be realised (8) without any change in gaze direction towards the co-speaker (Beattie 1978; Streeck 2014) as this would represent an appeal to the latter. “Basic Notions of Information Structure.” Interdisciplinary Studies on Information Structure 6 (2007): 13–55. Harris, Zelig. The korrelat can be obligatory, optional or not used at all. 20In the traditional division of clause complexes into two uneven and complementary subgroups, i.e. From the point of view of utterer-based grammar, they are seen as performing secondary specification on predications. Its referential elements are stabilised in that their scope is defined. Potts (2005) also describes the content of appositive relative clauses as non-asserted, as it cannot be directly questioned. While less drawn on, the verbal and vocal cues create very distinct differences between the types, contradicting their traditionally unified picture. 112While subordinate constructions are not significantly emphasised through their syntactic realisation or lexical coding, the increase in the referential value of the gestural components suggests a shift towards a visual manipulation of representational features, and a global, sequential valorisation of information, through held gestures and repetitions throughout tone-units. Likewise, while emphasis is coded with a rising-falling contour on the nuclear syllable (Selting 1987), flat or falling-rising contours are used to encode background information (Ward and Hirschberg 1984). 28While very little work has been conducted on subordinate constructions from a multimodal perspective, a large body of research has detailed prosodic subordination (e.g. London: Longman, 1985. located elsewhere in the syntactic structure. X-Bar Syntax: A Study of Phrase Structure. Dohen, Marion and Hélène Lœvenbruck. 34Some gesture features have been shown to participate in the maintenance of coherence and cohesion (Halliday and Hasan 1976) in speech (Calbris 2011). delays the verbal sequential focus, set in R with a presentative structure and the discourse marker “actually”. The weak distribution of prosodic cues in the expression of foreground suggests that speakers preferentially use this modality for demarcation. Adaptators. 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). In line with this, the present article discusses subordination in spontaneous speech, more specifically the sequences containing subordinate constructions that operate at the syntactic level of modification (, As traditionally described in syntax and discourse analysis, modifiers in discourse subordination refer to elements specifying or elaborating upon some primary features, often described as additions associated to another propositional content in the host or embedding structure (Biber. Lehmann, Christian. Intonation in Text and Discourse. Basically, a subordinate clause cannot function as a complete sentence. Appositive relatives are also classified as adverbials (Biber et al. Thompson (2002) adds that an initial adverbial clause raises a “problem” regarding the expectancies fulfilled by previous discourse segments, and that the following utterances bring solutions. Although no systematic relation holds between gesture types and gesture functions, the representational function is usually performed by types such as iconics, deictics, and some metaphorics. This section presents raw results. 2009, Bigi 2012, Boersma and Weenink 2013) now facilitates an account of subordinate constructions as multimodal phenomena. 17In face-to-face conversation, participants negotiate meaning through multimodal contributions, in which the linguistic resources of speech interface with gesture. Manon Lelandais and Gaëlle Ferré, « How Are Three Syntactic Types of Subordinate Clauses Different in Terms of Informational Weight? Underline the subordinate clause in the following sentences. London: Pearson Education, 1999. Halliday, Michael A. K. and Ruqaiya Hasan. Reinhart, Tanya. The table follows the reading model of Table 7 (restrictive relative clauses). Yet, their analysis often focuses on speech alone. This humorous contradiction is prosodically marked, F0 rising from 89 Hz to 105 Hz on the vowel in “know” (Intsint “U” value for upstep), then decreasing to 83 Hz. 4a. an argument. J. Rhianna marks this information with a sweep of her right hand corresponding to the verbal item “pushing” (a). These hand beats create a pragmatic focus as in sequence (19), represented in Figure 6. where Tom explains a television programme which tackles a different topical health issue each time. narrative, argumentation, series of questions-answers, description). This study therefore questions whether subordinate constructions all express the same absence of prominence in terms of informational content. For example: ... WHAT IS A CLAUSE? While less drawn on, the verbal and vocal cues create very distinct differences between the types, contradicting their traditionally unified picture. Berkeley, CA: Linguistic Society of America, 1984. Finally, in the rich framework of syntactical relations proposed by Matthiessen & Thompson (1988: 238), adverbials and non-restrictive relatives are “less subordinate” than other structures, belonging to relations of hypotactic combination rather than embedding. 7. 41A total of 386 constructions were annotated in the corpus, which represents 9.76% of the total speaking time (i.e. “A Revision of the Foreground-background Distinction.” Talk delivered to the Linguistic Society of America Winter Meeting. “Transitivity in Grammar and Discourse.” Language 56 (1980): 251–299. Prominence is mainly expressed visually, as they increase the saliency of the gestures coding some propositional content, but also feature signals related to the structuring of discourse. Zoe’s laugh punctuates. Although their verbal characteristics have been deeply analysed, few studies have focused on the articulation of the different communicative modalities in their production or provided a qualified picture of their informational input. The table follows the reading model of Table 1. Figure 7 positions them on a continuum from background to foreground, including intermediate communicational strategies. 5Adverbial clauses are seen as exterior to the frame built by “main” clauses, and are related to the clause they modify through a connector indicating their adverbial status (Gosselin 1990)3. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2006. Selting, Margret. While their gestures and prosody indicate local salience, the verbal features of appositive relative clauses clearly mark background information. This study therefore questions whether subordinate constructions all express the same absence of prominence in terms of informational content. Synonyms for the textual organisation of information are “communicational weight” and “informational input”. On the contrary, an upstep on the initial syllable signals emphasis. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004. However, the lexical content of appositive relative clauses mainly marks an evaluative stance from the speaker, which does not represent critical information in the referential and/or sequential development of discourse. “Continuing and Restarting.” In P. Auer, and A. Charolles, Michel. The Logic of Conventional Implicatures. According to our analytical needs, we distinguish between two broad functions. While some heads inherently require reference to a dependent, which may therefore be considered the head’s argument, other dependents are not inherently presupposed by their head and are considered modifiers. The last discourse segment is extended, but such an extension can feature its own pragmatic value (see examples (5), (6), and (7) further below). Huddleston, Rodney and Geoffrey K. Pullum. Cristofaro, Sonia. Consider the following examples: - How did you do it? functioning as modifiers in our oral corpus of spontaneous interaction (described in the “Corpus and methodology” section of the paper): adverbial clauses, restrictive relative clauses, and appositive relative clauses which are illustrated in examples (1-3) below. In (5), Tom links “black pudding” with the non-neutral adjective “disgusting”. Just as with morphemes, with syntactic units we can also distinguish between simpler and more complex forms or types. Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English. 14 The table follows the reading model of Table 4, 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 adverbial clauses out of the total of gestures in the sequence —L+Sc+R). Instead, they connect them by reference. “Can Speaker Gaze Modulate Syntactic Structuring and Thematic Role Assignment during Spoken Sentence Comprehension?” Frontiers in Psychology 3 (2012): 1–15. Types of clause. emphasises both new cognitive and textual units: several clauses are grouped in their necessity to be interpreted through its criterion, which must stay activated in the co-speaker’s memory. However, the lexical content of appositive relative clauses mainly marks an evaluative stance from the speaker, which does not represent critical information in the referential and/or sequential development of discourse. Larreya, Paul. 2: Eyebrow rise during the gestural realisation of example (11), with a lower hand gesture in. Bestgen, Yves. Also known as a declarative content clause or a "that"-complement clause. “The Linguistic Realization of Information Packaging.” Linguistics 34–3 (1996): 459–520. These three levels of discourse structure are respectively called main structure, substructure, and side structure. Sweetser, Eve. Non-finite subordinate clauses = clauses with no finite verb. They first feature significantly less held gestures than adverbial clauses (F(39,39) = 2.08, p < .02) and restrictive relative clauses (F(39,39) = 1.94, p < .02), meaning that their gestures are less static. The content in the relative clause is deemed more objective than subjective, as evidence of an effort from the speaker to avoid any commentary function (ibid.). “The Intonation of Accessibility.” Journal of Pragmatics 38 (2006): 1636–1657. Substructures constitute the “goal-satisfying part” of the answer given to the main question (e.g. 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. “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. Two audio files corresponding to each microphone were created in a WAV format, so as to facilitate the analysis of overlapping speech. 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. “Projection in Interaction and Projection in Grammar.” Text 25–1 (2005): 7–36. Auer, Peter. This 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. “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. “Figure and Ground: The Interrelationships of Linguistic Categories.” In P. J. Hopper (ed. Examples will be provided in relation with these results in the Discussion section that follows. “Facial Expression and Prosodic Prominence: Effects of Modality and Facial Area.”. n (1987: 176) contradicts the notion of any fixed grammatical correlate to the foreground/background distinction in discourse. Adverbial clauses also feature the highest proportion of head beats (45.9% of head beats in. The finite verb is most central to what constitutes a clause. 102In short, the vocal features of restrictive relative clauses participate to the foreground. Section 3 focuses on the semantic analysis of such sentences. There are two types of subordinate or dependent clauses discussed in this brief tutorial: those headed by an adverbial subordinate conjunction and those headed by a relative pronoun (adjectival subordinate conjunction). However, the literature shows little consensus in weighing their informational input: while the information conveyed in subordinate structures is seen as serving grounding functions in discourse (Fleischman 1985), Cristofaro (2003) and Langacker (2008) signal that semantic and/or illocutionary subordination need not align with syntactic subordination, and that the notion of subordination is best understood in terms of dynamic conceptualisation. 1999; Huddleston and Pullum 2002: 1048). While sharing a single prosodic contour with L. ’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).
