Clause chaining in Matukar Panau (Oceanic, Papua New Guinea)
Authors: Barth Danielle , Ross Malcolm 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter offers a description of the structure and usage of clause chains in Matukar Panau, an Oceanic Austronesian language of Papua New Guinea with long term Papuan language contact. Matukar Panau is in the small Bel family. Although clause chaining is a common clause combining strategy in Papuan languages, including those spoken near the village of Matukar, it is atypical of Oceanic languages. Like some neighbouring Papuan languages, Matukar Panau has recapitulative linkage, but no switch-reference. Medial verbs are marked for reality status, which scopes over the entire clause chain, which is also a feature of some Papuan languages. However, the distinction in realis/irrealis is a pervasive feature of Oceanic. The etymology of Matukar Panau medial verb markers, in the context of Bel languages and Proto-Oceanic can help explain some of the features of the modern system, including homonymy of some medial and final markers.
Clause chaining in East Tukanoan Kotiria and Wa’ikhana
Authors: Stenzel Kristine 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses multi-verb constructions and two types of clause chaining constructions in Kotiria and Wa’ikhana, languages of the East Tukano family of northwestern Amazonia. It describes the structural features by which different multi-verb constructions can be recognized, including a system of switch-reference marking in complex sentences, and then goes on to discussion of how clause chains are employed in monologic and conversational discourse. Examples from monologic discourse, such as narratives and procedural texts, illustrate the interplay of switch-reference morphology and other resources to ensure both reference tracking and foregrounding/backgrounding of topical events and participants. It also illustrates the interaction of distinct sentence-level and paragraph-level linkage strategies in discourse management. Examples from conversational data contribute further insights on how complex sentences are pragmatically employed in everyday interaction, particularly underscoring the ‘projection’ function of dependent clauses and their role in the dynamic realization of social actions.
Clause chaining in Dzongkha
Authors: Watters Stephen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter describes the clause chain in Dzongkha, with a focus on the medial clause. There are four medial clauses, and they have both canonical and non-canonical usage. Canonical medial clauses precede the final clause. Two medial clauses are sensitive to referent tracking, and exhibit the characteristics of an incipient switch-reference system. There are three types of non-canonical medial clauses, one of which is not well-described for other languages and is the first description of its kind for Dzongkha. It involves the conventionalized medial clause use of what, on prima facie grounds, appears to formally be an independent clause. The chapter also illustrates that clause chains can be complex, both within the medial clause itself, and with the combining of different types of medial clauses within a single chain.
Clause chains and related structures in Macro-Tani languages
Authors: Mark W. Post , Yankee Modi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter describes clause chaining and related structures in the Macro-Tani group of Trans-Himalayan (= Sino-Tibetan) languages, focusing on the Tani languages Galo and Adi on the one hand, and the more genetically distant Milang on the other. Adopting synchronic and diachronic perspectives, it discusses morphological markers of clause chains, outlines the basic syntactic features of Macro-Tani clause chains in two types of ‘non-final’ construction, and describes Macro-Tani clause chains in desubordinated, quotative and imperative constructions. By analysing Macro-Tani clause chains in the broader context of its dependent clause typology, this chapter provides evidence for the structural distinctness of non-final constructions in Macro-Tani, which are broadly consistent with the ‘co-subordinate’ type. It therefore cautions against claims made in the literature that ‘Asian converbs’ tend to conflate most if not all coordinating and subordinating functions into a single structural type; in Macro-Tani languages, at least, this is clearly not the case.
Clause chaining in Turkic
Authors: Johanson Lars , Csató Éva Á. , Karakoç Birsel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The chapter describes specific features of Turkic clause chains, which are sequences of recursively subordinated converb clauses headed by serial converbs grammaticalized for this function. Serial converb suffixes assign a vague meaning, expressing the completion of the relevant phase of the event and pointing forward to the next event as an ‘and’ in English. Clause chains have semantic and syntactic properties distinguishing them from clause combining strategies characteristic of complement, relative, and adverbial clauses. Clause chains are typical of narrative discourse types in several Turkic languages. The use of clause chains based on the same non-modifying converb is highly restricted in contemporary Turkish.
The Amharic converb in clause chaining
Authors: Sarvasy Hannah S. , Aikhenvald Alexandra Y. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines the converb in Amharic as one of the grammatical devices for clause chaining. A characteristic property of the converb is that it is unmarked for tense/aspect, which prohibits it from functioning as a head of an independent clause while allowing it to occur with main verbs that are marked for various tense/aspect. One consequence of this is that the converb can function as an adverbial modifier of the main clause. The event expressed by the converb and the main verb can be simultaneous or sequential, and as the converb and the main verb can have different arguments, it is possible to question or focus the arguments of the converb independent of the arguments of the main verb. The chapter also shows the grammaticalized forms of some converbs, including the use of the converb of the verb ‘say’ as a complementizer occurring with verbs of cognition and speech.
Converb constructions and clause chaining in Cushitic
Authors: Treis Yvonne , Vanhove Martine 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter describes the morphology and syntax of converbs in eleven Cushitic languages, with a special focus on Beja and Kambaata. Cushitic converbs are used in clause chaining function, but chains are considerably shorter than in e.g. Papuan languages. In some languages, converbal clauses qualify as embedded clauses. Across the Cushitic family, converbs display considerable formal and functional variation. On a morphological cline of finiteness, converbs range from strictly non-finite to partially finite forms. Between one and six converb types, with different degrees of semantic specialization, are distinguished in individual languages. Only in one genetic subgrouping are converbs marked for switch-reference. The final part of this chapter discusses the use of converbs beyond clause combining and provides examples of lexicalization and grammaticalization, in particular as part of complex predicates.
Clause chaining in Bantu languages
Authors: Riedel Kristina , Gibson Hannah 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter explores clause chaining constructions in Bantu. The Bantu languages are a group of some 450–500 languages spoken across much of Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa. Eastern Bantu, in particular, exhibits a high degree of similarity across a range of domains. However, the language family also exhibits a high degree of micro-variation in the key areas of morphosyntax. The chapter examines clause chaining constructions in Bantu, and presents data exemplifying four clause chaining strategies in the language family. It also examines in more detail, clause chaining constructions in three better described Bantu languages, namely Swahili, Sesotho, and Zulu. Bantu clause chains are commonly associated with the narrative marker ka- (and variants thereof), reflecting the interaction of the construction with the complex system of TAM marking for which the language family is known. A distinctive feature of Bantu clause chains is that they can span multiple sentences.
