ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the description of subordinate clause because it is seen as essential to the definition of a ‘sentence’, which is very often composed of subordinate clause and an independent clause. After summarising the approach to clause instead of 'sentence', and the notion of independence versus subordination as this manifests itself in the use of subordinate clause examples, the people consider briefly those aspects of clause other than subordinate clause which the people might require for their definition. Accordingly, the people considered the idea of clause in clause as a necessary part of the study of clause in 'sentence' as a preliminary to attempting to define 'sentence'. It should be clear that, without that which it is subordinated to, subordinate clause is by definition grammatically incomplete. Special operations clauses can be divided into unmarked and marked operations on the basic clause.
