Clause Combining in Semitic ― The Circumstantial Clause and Beyond

Linguists examine how different kinds of clauses combine in a number of Semitic languages, emphasizing how circumstantial clauses are coded in individual Semitic languages. They cover circumstantial clause linking in Egyptian Arabic narration, non-main clause combining in Damascene Arabic, the domain of verbal circumstantial clauses in classical Arabic, a clause combining approach to the verbal system of biblical Hebrew, circumstantial clause combining in the Jewish neo-Aramaic dialect of Zakho, the problem of circumstantial clause combining in Sabaean, and circumstantial clause combining in Old Babylonian Akkadian.
