This diachronously and synchronously oriented study focuses not only on the creation of the “dass” sentence but also on non-canonical subordinate-clause constructions such as argumental and relative clauses with main-clause word order and correlative adverbial clauses. In this way, the book addresses the relationship between the formal and interpretative properties of subordination, a much discussed issue in recent scholarship.
