Just three very short paragraphs later, comes (11b), virtually an identical sentence except that the verb of the subordinateclause is in the indicative. Similarly, the verbs in the subordinateclause were considered relevant only if they were in one of the indicative or subjunctive preterit forms. Together with their arguments, they express a distinct proposition (a subordinateclause) which functions as a modifier of the proposition denoted by the main clause. The basic word order of the main and the subordinateclause remain intact. For every item of this test, participants were given the main clause and the beginning of the subordinateclause of a conditional sentence. The next fragment illustrates the canonical word order in which a subordinateclause precedes the main clause. In every sentence, the verb in the subordinateclause was missing and participants had to complete the sentence by choosing from four different possibilities. Considering only the declarative and interrogative cases, the following subvarieties of subordinateclause constructions can be captured straightforwardly. One difference lies in the relative unimportance of intervening adverbials at the clause boundary and the categorial status of the subordinateclause subject. The non-prototypical mood of the utterance reported by the subordinateclause is imposed by this verb. However, one would expect object omissions never to occur in a subordinateclause. It is this normal function that the particle has here with our adverbs, marking them as relative and thus automatically as introducing a subordinateclause. In other words, the action of the verb in the matrix clause happened after the completion of the action in the subordinateclause. When the temporal present implies a habitual state of affairs, the present indicative is used in the subordinateclause. The three languages mentioned are very closely related and have the same adjective morphology and subordinateclause syntax. The realization that a subject can be missing in both a matrix and a subordinateclause would reveal a recursive kind of argument deletion. An intriguing area is raising of negation from the subordinateclause to the main clause. Where a pronominal subject is overtly case-marked, it is itself an explicit marker of the new subordinateclause, leaving little need for an overt relativizer. At clause level, the relation between subordinateclause types and their functions in higher constituents is left unclear. At the syntactic level, they include a main and a subordinateclause, each containing a verb in a different tense. Of the 22 sentences, 12 contained the target subordinateclause structure-that is, they belonged to the type of conditional sentence illustrated in example (2). Note that not any preterite form in a subordinateclause is a relative tense form. Each sentence included a main clause and a subordinateclause that either preceded or followed the main clause. This is even more so because the author produces evidence that even monolingual children may have problems with word order in the subordinateclause. The case marking that previously signalled the relation of the subordinateclause to the main clause has come to signal a kind of modality. Instead, it uses a complement-taking predicate describing the manner in which the event described in the subordinateclause takes place. Three phenomena were chosen for this study: attributive adjective morphology, predicative adjective morphology, and subordinateclause syntax (placement of negation). Column 3 indicates whether the construction is limited, on that particular interpretation, to main or subordinateclause, or not : finiteness-expressing constructions occur only in main or in both. Thus, such a minimal pair would be suitable to test the effect of grammatical role on the availability of a null subject in the subordinateclause. In these cases always and not structurally form part of the subordinateclause. The missing element was always the verb of the subordinateclause, which could be placed either in initial or in final position of the conditional sentence. In half of the sentences the main clause preceded the subordinateclause (forward anaphora) and in the other half the subordinate clause preceded the main clause (backward anaphora). The sequence of verb tenses for conditional sentences that refer to the past is past perfect subjunctive in the subordinateclause and conditional tense in the main clause. Conversely, the possibility of passivizing the subject of the subordinateclause of ' believe ' verb may suggest that subjects are not licensed internally to the subordinateclause. The sequence of verb tenses for conditional sentences that refer to the present or future is imperfect subjunctive in the subordinateclause and conditional tense in the main clause. Some kinds of subordinateclause allow the use of absolute tense forms. The subordinateclause follows the main clause. Examples 1 and 2 below illustrate main clause and subordinateclause structures.
