ABSTRACT
Conjunctions and subjunctions have a linking function. For main clauses and subordinate clauses, for the conjunction field ‘f’ which contains the link itself. Traditional grammar uses an overarching term for the single word class of conjunctions, which includes both coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. Conjunctions are usually found between the two sentence elements, phrases or clauses to be coordinated. Conjunctions normally consist of a single word whereas subjunctions may either be single words or complex subjunctions comprising several words, often a combination of adverb or preposition and subjunction. Clauses may also be linked by a conjunctional adverb in a separate main clause. In addition to eller a number of double conjunctions consist of a conjunctional adverb and eller. Conclusion may also be expressed by means of conjunctional adverbs such as altsa, ‘therefore’; derfor, ‘consequently’; dermed ‘consequently’. Om is also used as a conditional or concessive conjunction.
