This is a cross-linguistic exploration of the use of clause linkage
markers in causal, conditional, and concessive sentences. Employing
a five-level classification of clause linkage based on semantic and
pragmatic grounds, it shows that, within individual languages
different markers exhibit different distributions on the five
levels. Also, the rich evidence presented from seventeen languages
from many parts of the world documents that these distributions
present commonalities as well as differences across the languages
of the sample.
