Since natural languages exist in two different modalities - the
visual-gestural modality of sign languages and the auditory-oral
modality of spoken languages - it is obvious that all fields of
research in modern linguistics will benefit from research on sign
languages. Although previous studies have provided important
insights into a wide range of phenomena of sign languages, there
are still many aspects of sign languages that have not yet been
investigated thoroughly. The structure of subordinated clauses is a
case in point. The study of these complex syntactic structures in
the visual-gestural modality adds to our understanding of
linguistic variation in the domain of subordination. Moreover, it
offers new empirical and theoretical evidence concerning possible
structures and functions of subordination in natural languages. And
last but not least, it answers the question to what extent the
corresponding morphosyntactic and prosodic strategies depend on the
modality of articulation and perception. This volume represents the
first collection of papers by leading experts in the field
investigating topics that go beyond the analysis of simple clauses.
It thus contributes in innovative ways to recent debates about
syntax, prosody, semantics, discourse structure, and information
structure and their complex interrelation.
