The Semantics of Clause Linking: A Cross-linguistic Typology-Between the typological introduction and final summary, this volume includes revised versions of fourteen of the fifteen presentations at the International Workshop on ‘The semantics of clause linking’, held at the Research Centre for Linguistic Typology, 13–18 August 2007.
Ho-min Sohn, author of Chapter 12, is (besides being a native speaker of the language), the leading world authority on Korean grammar. Guy Deutscher (Chapter 2) is thoroughly familiar with the multitudinous textual corpus of Akkadian. In 1980, Alan Dench (author of Chapter 11) was asked by
Algy Paterson, the last fluent speaker of Martuthunira, to document his language. Dench recorded and analyzed a considerable corpus before this language passed into extinction with the speaker’s death in 1995. The other eleven chapters in this volume are by linguists who have each undertaken lengthy spells of immersion fieldwork in a community where the language is actively spoken, and themselves acquired competence in it.
As with previous volumes emanating from our International Workshops (also published in the series Explorations in Linguistic Typology) we owe a
considerable debt to John Davey, our editor at Oxford University Press. Over the years we have worked with many editors from a number of publishing houses. John Davey is in a class of his own for insight, perceptiveness, efficiency, and-more important of all-the delight which he takes in publishing our books, and the enthusiasm which never fails to cheer us.
