* Some of the categories represented here probably do
not exist. Can, for example, a predicate noun clause be located to the
left (before) the verb to which it functions as the predicate noun? Because,
however, this table is intended to reflect research, much of which has
not yet been done, I have followed the example of Levi-Strauss by creating
a matrix of all theoretically possible cases. Delayed subjects are represented
only once because by their very definition they are delayed, i.e., to the
right of the finite verb. |
