Sinopsis

This book argues that while some adjuncts and complements contribute regular assertions, others operate in the conventional implicature dimension, which expresses additional side comments. This distinction of semantic dimension is shown as necessary to account for regular vs. speech act uses of 'weil' vs. 'denn' (because) in German, for regular vs. relevance conditionals, as well as certain sentence adverbs. Further, a new two-dimensional analysis is crucial to account for the differences between parenthetical-like sliftings and true verb-second embedded clauses in German.

De la contraportada

This book studies clausal adjuncts and complements in the semantic dimensions of assertion and conventional implicature in German. Investigated phenomena include regular vs. speech act uses of because- and although-clauses, relevance conditionals, sentence adverbs, as well as slifting vs. embedded verb-second clauses. In multiple case studies, this book addresses the distribution of the semantic pieces associated with a certain construction over the known dimensions of meaning, and its effect on the overall meaning, function, and discourse use of complex utterances.
