Insubordination in Germanic : a typology of complement and conditional constructions This book studies insubordination using Germanic data. On a descriptive level it distinguishes a wide number of (previously undescribed) types of complement and conditional insubordination in English German Dutch Swedish Danish and Icelandic. On a theoretical level these data are used to investigate the boundaries of insubordination and the degree to which insubordination is a constructionally and semantically unified phenomenon
