ABSTRACT

In Chapter 4 we saw the basic structure of the Mangghuer clause, with its most common constituents and their typical order of appearance. In this chapter, we take up the complicated question of how multiple clauses are combined into larger units, which we can think of as sentences. I will have relatively little to say about the sentence as a syntactic unit, but rather, will focus on the means by which clauses are combined with one another within a sentence. However, a few comments on the nature of the larger units will be made in section 6.4, below.
