“Foregrounding in English Relative Clauses.”, De Vries, Mark. Synonyms for the textual organisation of information are “communicational weight” and “informational input”. From a macro-syntactic point of view, restrictive relative clauses present the highest distribution of aspectual marks and modal auxiliaries (35% of restrictive relative clauses; adverbials: < .0001) which denote radical modality, emphasising the subject-predicate relation (see 4.3.1). The first column gives the number of constructions out of 40 that shows each feature in each segme. A high F0 (i.e. However, the literature shows little consensus in weighing their informational input: while the information conveyed in subordinate structures is seen as serving grounding functions in discourse (Fleischman 1985), Cristofaro (2003) and Langacker (2008) signal that semantic and/or illocutionary subordination need not align with syntactic subordination, and that the notion of subordination is best understood in terms of dynamic conceptualisation. Providing some propositional content and a textual framing signal. Gosselin, Laurent. They provide a large number of subject complements as in (8): which was like # what like four hours away from here #. While high transitivity and dynamicity in the nuclear components denote the foreground (Longacre 1996), nominality and identification show an inferior semantic weight (, . “‘Are You a Good Which or a Bad Which?’ The Relative Pronoun as a Plain Connective.” In A. Celle and R. Huart (eds. A nominal that- clause can function as a subject, object, complement, or appositive in a declarative sentence. Berlin, Germany. McNeill, David. Introducteurs de cadres et centrage.”. This paper focuses on restrictive relative clauses introduced by “that” as a relative pronoun. Annotations are made in two respects: the algorithm notes pitch height (in Hz) on target syllables, which allows us to calculate mean F0 values for specific segments. However. However, the literature shows little consensus in weighing their informational input: while the information conveyed in subordinate structures is seen as serving grounding functions in discourse (Fleischman 1985), Cristofaro (2003) and Langacker (2008) signal that semantic and/or illocutionary subordination need not align with syntactic subordination, and that the notion of subordination is best understood in terms of dynamic conceptualisation. In short, the vocal features of restrictive relative clauses participate to the foreground. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1967. This section presents raw results. Huddleston, Rodney and Geoffrey K. Pullum. ’s established gestural frame, while still valid for R’s interpretation, is not held or elaborated upon. Sc’s final rising contour indexes more talk to come, and centres the co-speaker’s attention on the forthcoming segment. These constructions seek the establishment of a consensus between speaker and co-speaker, bearing on interactional felicity rather than propositional meaning. They currently function as subjects, objects, complements and adverbials. The last column gives the percentage of adverbial clauses showing each feature out of the total 40. Fleischman, Suzanne. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2007. 1995). 11 The table follows the reading model of Table 1, except the first column (which gives the number of gestures showing each feature per segment) and the last column (which gives the percentage of the gestures in appositive relative clauses out of the total of gestures in the sequence —L+Sc+R). . Lyttle, Eldon G. A Grammar of Subordinate Structures in English. A text is here considered as a coherent structured semiotic entity. We use “prominence” as a synonym for “salience”. Changes in the modal configuration throughout the sequence suggest modalities are dynamic and flexible resources for expressing background or foreground information in subordinate constructions relatively to their syntactic type. While generally possessing distinct hand gesture units, they function above the propositional level: gestural layering (Cassell and McNeill 1990) takes place in the visual encoding of appositive relative clauses. The function of adverbial clauses is to “signal that several clauses appearing in the thread of a text have the same relation with a certain criterion, and can thus be grouped inside units” called frames (Charolles 2003, Péry-Woodley 2000: 62). (5) Subordinate clauses are expected to show flat or falling-rising contours (Ward and Hirschberg 1985) as opposed to definitive falling contours advancing the conversational agenda or to rising-falling contours associated with focalisation, and (6) should not cause any important change in rhythm, featuring few pauses (Local 1992), as some silent pauses also participate in focalisation. Burton-Roberts, Noel. Different degrees between foreground and background in discourse are consequently identified from the new perspective afforded by multimodality, providing a qualified picture of the communicational weight of subordinate constructions. Rhianna marks this information with a sweep of her right hand corresponding to the verbal item “pushing” (a). anche-Benveniste (1990: 19) explains that some elements can agglutinate around the verbal nucleus of a clause, but are only “associated” with the verbal construction. Van Kuppevelt, Jan. “Main Structure and Side Structure in Discourse.” Linguistics 33 (1995): 809–833.

Other studies (e.g. His gaze also shortly leaves the co-speaker for the left side, as he goes through some processing and/or projecting difficulties. Traditional grammar does not detail in great length the syntactic link between adverbial clauses and the clause they modify (Gosselin 1990; Auer 2005). 78In this argumentation on the composition of transformed products, Sc provides a concession to one of Tom’s main arguments. Oxford: Clarendon, 1998. “Transitivity in Grammar and Discourse.” Language 56 (1980): 251–299. Predictable grammatical correlates of grounding are still assumed, but are considered relative by a number of studies (e.g. Syntactic functions of non-finite subclauses 51Gesture annotation was based on gesture phrases (Kendon 2004). The superior pole of subordination within the gradation between nucleus and periphery is parataxis, where the verbal categories of aspect, tense, and mood are retained. Every subordinate clause is introduced by speci c conjunctions, while the subordinate clause has its unique syntactic structure; for example, the particles Hinna and its sisters are followed by the subject in the accusative and not in the nominative case. ), Swerts, Marc and Emiel Krahmer. does not elaborate upon her mother’s advice: this segment is a comment going back on L’s new information (“get my license”). Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2009. L’Actance. Synonyms for the textual organisation of information are “communicational weight” and “informational input”. “A Multimodal Approach to Markedness in Spoken French.”, Fleischman, Suzanne. This subjective comment can add an event which participates to the succession of events in the text. “Social Eye Gaze Modulates Processing of Speech and Cospeech Gesture.”, Hopper, Paul J. A noun serves as the subject of the verb in a sentence or it serves as the complement of the verb in a sentence ; so does a noun clause and even a nominal or noun phrase . While their gestures and prosody indicate local salience, the verbal features of appositive relative clauses clearly mark background information. “Aspect and Foregrounding in Discourse”. The gestures in adverbial clauses tend to be tense and articulated, with a significant increase in the production of representational gestures (from 23.1% of representational hand gestures produced in L to 38.5% in Sc; F(42,35) = 1.76, p < .05), although the gestures accompanying adverbial clauses mostly fulfil organisational functions. While essential notions (, subject, verb, complement) are tied to the predication by “main” clauses, adverbial clauses mainly give stability to the referential elements, framing their interpretational range. Their verbal marks clearly participate to the foreground, increasing not only their salience (, they are easily distinguished from the co-text given their markedness) but also their relevance (. Following Lyons, we can sub-divide the latter further into compound and complexunits. The syntactic functions of the subordinate clauses include those of a subject, object, adverbial and attributive adjective to the clause on which they depend. Emonds (1979) and Cotte (2008) describe restrictive relative clauses as “attached” relative structures compared to appositive relative clauses, which are “detached”, iconically marking out the distance of the object. It refers to the cognitive mechanism deriving from the attentional state, in which one element is perceived by the co-speaker as standing out among others. Their succession in co-occurrence with the verb and its object complement highlights the predicate and the process it describes, pragmatically indexing the most relevant informational content in the sequence. . 2a. Predictable grammatical correlates of grounding are still assumed, but are considered relative by a number of studies (. The semantic nature of their connector distinguishes several types of adverbial clauses, expressing for instance temporal relations with “when” in example (1). 7. Restrictive relative clauses are the most modulated among both the different types and their surroundings, as in (18), represented in Figure 5: : Extract from sequence (18) in Praat, showing a more modulated pitch in. “Centering: a Framework for Modeling the Local Coherence of Discourse.” Computational Linguistics 21–2 (1995): 203–225. Their modifying scope varies from a single nominal referent to a verb phrase or a whole clause (Longacre 1996). 1999; Huddleston and Pullum 2002: 1048). Adverbial clauses are different from appositive clauses in their macro-syntax, which denotes a high number of processes (with 47.5% of occurrences featuring a process verb). . INTSINT Same values out of a total of 84 in sequences (L+, Appositive relative clauses also visually index modal and pragmatic foci, through various articulators. Its aim was to establish whether the affirmation that subordinate clauses constitute background information as opposed to their host main clauses holds true. These modes do not work independently from one another, although a particular mode may weigh more than the others at some points. Index. Gestural features tested in Adverbial Clauses, number of hand gestures with a representational function out of a total of 52 in sequences (L+, number of hand gestures with an organisational function out of a total of 117 in sequences (L+, high hand gestures out of a total of 30 in sequences (L+, low hand gestures out of a total of 77 in sequences (L+, held hand gestures out of a total of 21 in sequences (L+, hand beats out of a total of 20 in sequences (L+, head beats out of a total of 37 in sequences (L+, gaze units away out of a total number of 96 in sequences (L+, eyebrow rises out of a total of 17 in sequences (L+. Adverbial clauses mainly trigger a structural (re)interpretation of some portions of discourse, with interpretative frames and scopes ranging from a single segment to a whole series of tone-units. Tübingen, Germany: Max Niemeyer Verlag, 1986. We are particularly interested in values which indicate a significant pitch reset (Top, Bottom), or a significant change in pitch key (Upstep —change towards a higher pitch range, Downstep— towards a lower pitch range). “The Difference between English Restrictive and Nonrestrictive Relative Clauses.”, Ferré, Gaëlle. ), The Clause in English. “Narrative Analysis: Oral Versions of Personal Experience.” In J. The table follows the reading model of Table 4 (adverbial clauses). All the annotations made in Praat where then exported into Elan. INTRODUCTION The three structural types of clauses in English, specifically finite clauses, non-finite clauses and verbless clauses are discussed in the paper. Syntax. . Some function words (like "to") can serve different functions. They mainly comment upon their co-text as in (9), through a shift in the assertive parameters in which factual descriptions are turned into utterances showing a strong modal stance: Tim answers a question from the co-speaker about a music band who performed in a bar the night before. A subordinate clause which acts as an adverb in a sentence is called an Adverb Clause. Des changements dans la configuration modale au fil de la séquence discursive contenant une subordonnée indiquent quant à eux que les modalités verbale, vocale, et gestuelle constituent des ressources dynamiques et flexibles pour exprimer de l’information d’arrière-plan ou de premier plan, en fonction de leur type syntaxique. HomeAnglophonia23How Are Three Syntactic Types of ... À partir d’un corpus vidéo de conversation spontanée en anglais, notre étude s’attache à déterminer dans le cadre de l’Analyse de Discours Multimodale si différents types syntaxiques de constructions subordonnées expriment tous de l’information d’arrière-plan. The analysis evaluates the informational weight of subordinate constructions (background vs. foreground information). Berkeley, CA: Linguistic Society of America, 1984. Tom does not withdraw from the exchange space, maintaining his gaze towards the co-speaker throughout these two segments. . gather three focalisation cues. Inscribed in a continuity, the gestures encoding a same referent are more schematic, while those carrying new information are often more precise and clearer, . Eyebrow movement, especially rises, is linked to prosody, particularly to focalisation and emphasis. In Discourse Analysis, the syntactic notion of subordination is enlarged to the rules governing the organisation of discourse segments. introduces a change in point of view, in that the argumentation switches back to Rhianna’s voice in the debate. Each participant had a lavalier microphone, which provided two separate audio tracks. Completing the identification of the item “test”, Sc delays the verbal sequential focus, set in R with a presentative structure and the discourse marker “actually”. 33In this study, gesture includes co-speech bodily movement that is considered part of an utterance, following Kendon’s (2004) definition. do not directly represent referents. “Mutual Gaze and Recognition: Revisiting Kendon’s ‘Gaze Direction in Two-person Conversation’”. “The Difference between English Restrictive and Nonrestrictive Relative Clauses.” Journal of Linguistics 26–1 (1990): 57–77. 88While sharing a single prosodic contour with L, Sc’s final syllable is higher than the initial one (284 Hz vs. 219 Hz) and does not match R’s beginning, which is downstepped (Intsint “D” value). We are also interested in the value “Same” which, if found in greater number in our sequences, would indicate that there is no break in between the different elements of the sequence. “Four hours? “The Intonation of Accessibility.” Journal of Pragmatics 38 (2006): 1636–1657. They create pragmatic and/or modal foci above the propositional level, mainly relying on visual strategies. The selected occurrences were classified according to their syntactic type in Praat (restrictive relative clause, adverbial clause, appositive relative clause). Subordinators or subordinating conjunctions usually introduce the subordinate clause in a sentence (see subordination and … In the case of two consecutive gestures, the first gesture phrase ends at a significant change in shape and/or trajectory. Retrieved 16 September 2014 from http://revel.unice.fr/cycnos/index.html?id=1693. “Discourse Functions of Tense-aspect Distinctions in Narrative: Toward a Theory of Grounding.”. Prosodic Systems and Intonation in English. Halliday, Michael A. K. and Ruqaiya Hasan. 70Restrictive relative clauses are the most modulated among both the different types and their surroundings (20% of speakers showing a significant contrast in pitch movement between L and Sc; p < .05 for these speakers). 4Adverbial clauses qualify the main-clause process with respect to agencies such as time, means, cause, and purpose, often with an element specifying the nature of their relationship (Langacker 2008: 419-420). Toulouse: Presses Universitaires du Mirail, 2003. However, only a small majority of adverbial clauses are essential to the development of this discourse; this discrepancy between salience and relevance suggests their verbal action is primarily textual. ), Universals of Human Language: Syntax. A salient structure is thus the result, or outcome, of focalisation as a process. We focus on eye gaze, head and eyebrow movement, as well as on hand gestures. Inscribed in a continuity, the gestures encoding a same referent are more schematic, while those carrying new information are often more precise and clearer (Kita et al. Types of clause. While their gestures and prosody indicate local salience, the verbal features of appositive relative clauses clearly mark background information. Two other notions express related but distinct phenomena in this paper: “focalisation” reflects the point of view of language production, and points at a communicative effort from the speaker, which results in a specific syntactic, prosodic, and/or gestural configuration. The Manu-facture of Meaning. Alex then looks at the air hostesses). “Intonational Features of Local and Global Discourse Structure.” Proceedings of the Workshop on Speech and Natural Language. However, appositive relatives have distinct illocutionary contents. Blühdorn, Hardarik. Subordinate units are typically less modulated (i.e. ), “Subordination” versus “Coordination” in Sentence and Text. Matthiessen, Christian and Sandra A. Thompson. “Continuing and Restarting.” In P. Auer, and A. In J. Haiman and S. A. Thompson (eds). While sharing a single prosodic contour with L. ’s final syllable is higher than the initial one (284 Hz vs. 219 Hz) and does not match R’s beginning, which is downstepped (Intsint “D” value). ), From Gesture in Conversation to Visible Action as Utterance. New York: Academic Press, 1976. “About the Relationship between Eyebrow Movements and F0 Variations.” Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Spoken Language (ICSLP 96). Wells, John C. English Intonation: An Introduction. We use “prominence” as a synonym for “salience”. The content in the relative clause is deemed more objective than subjective, as evidence of an effort from the speaker to avoid any commentary function (ibid.). Restrictive relative clauses also increase their production of organisational gestures specifically concerned with focalisation, as the increase in the number of organisational hand gestures (from 27.5% of organisational hand gestures in L to 36.3% in SC) is caused by hand beat gestures only. main-clause telic bounded situations; Labov and Waletzky 1967). The beat configuration is held until the end of Sc, after which Tom finds a rest position (d). This participant, or “pivot”, has a semantic role in both the relative clause and the matrix clause containing the modified nominal (Langacker 2008: 424). 11This study focuses on appositive relative clauses introduced by “which” as a conjunction. Unlike “that”, “which” introduces a subjective comment bearing on the relationship between two propositions. Her gaze on this gesture has a deictic value. showing less pitch movement) than their co-text (Hirschberg and Grosz 1992). Just like larger syntactic units, individual syntactic constituents are also characterised by their own internal structure. That is, embedded clauses can be an argument of a predicate, an adjunct on a predicate, or (part of) the predicate itself. They connect portions of speech without necessarily involving their predicate in a syntactic relation of subordination (Muller 2006). Georgetown University, 2004. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985. In (5), the appositive relative clause qualitatively evaluates “black pudding”, which can however be identified independently. Table 8 presents the prosodic results for restrictive relative clauses. Types of non-finite subclauses. In example (2), Tim does not directly state that he has passed his driving licence, but uses it as part of the common ground between speakers to establish a contrast with the following utterance. This paper focuses on the adverbial clauses introduced by “when”. In order to establish reliability of the clause type classification (restrictive relative clause, adverbial clause, appositive relative clause), a second coder judged 20% of the data that had been classified by the original coder. Retrieved 28 November 2013 from http://www.lat-mpi.eu/tools/elan/. Within a discourse sequence, a distinction is made between discourse units fulfilling the main purpose of the sequence, those contributing to any pre-requisite to the fulfilment of the main purpose (which are thus related to the sequence, and are relevant at a sub-sequential level), and those dealing with intervening, side purposes. Thompson (2002) breaks out of the traditional grammatical frame, no longer regarding the class of relative clauses as subordinate structures, but as pertaining to conjunction phenomena. R is a concluding evaluation, in this sense less informative. Larreya, Paul. Lyttle 1974) or prosodic input (e.g. Likewise, from the point of view of discourse, this syntactic type features the lowest proportion (30%) of segments which are essential to the development of their embedding discourse sequence, as shown in (5) in the Discussion section. Her gaze on this gesture has a deictic value. The main hypothesis, which arises from the consensus in the previous results, is based on the capacity of subordinate constructions to show distinct kinds of prominence depending on their syntactic type. than in L or in R. Table 3 shows the gestural parameters we have considered as cues for foreground and their distribution in appositive relative clauses. Subordinate constructions are relevant to examine language production and comprehension in real time, and present implications for discourse modelling. Stevenson (2002) refers to this phenomenon as cognitive centring. 76In sum, appositive relative clauses show a certain form of macro-syntactic autonomy in that they represent independent speech acts. Baumann, Stefan and Martine Grice. “Non-restrictive Relatives and Other Non-syntagmatic Relations in a Lexical-functional Framework.” Proceedings of LFG 2004 Conference. Adjunct ), Cause, Condition, Concession, Contrast. Below, you’ll find lists of all the different types, including examples from the Trainline Corpus. They mainly play a pivotal role in the sequential sub-structure in that they give a new modal orientation to a previous referential item or to a whole utterance, permitting the speaker to elaborate upon the ongoing topic and /or subtopic. Relative clauses feature either exclusive characterising functions (restrictive relative clauses) or non-exclusive characterising functions (appositive relative clauses). Couper-Kuhlen, Elizabeth. A subordinate unit is signalled by downwards changes in key (. From the point of view of utterer-based grammar, they are seen as performing secondary specification on predications. They show the highest distribution of emphatic (rise-fall) contours on nuclear syllables with 15% of occurrences produced with such a contour. These tests aim at detecting a significant difference between the three different types of subordinate constructions (appositive relative clauses, adverbial clauses, restrictive relative clauses). While it is often difficult to distinguish the range of adverbial clauses between the narrow target of the verbal phrase and the larger target of the whole clause, they are detached constructions that create an external entity to the predication by their syntactic position, but internal to the utterance. Statistical F-tests were run instead of ANOVAs, as the sets of data do not follow a normal distribution and are relatively small. This, is not a presupposition: the co-speaker can question it independently from the rest (. 107Our analysis shows that the different syntactic types of subordinate constructions can be differentiated on the grounds of their communicational input. Adverbial clauses also feature the highest proportion of head beats (45.9% of head beats in. He focuses on a particular report about salmon farming and its important impact on the public: : Two successive hand beats in example (19), followed by a metaphoric hand gesture in R. stands out from the rest of the sequence with its two successive hand beats (b) and (c), whose preparation is initiated on the antecedent (a). 2017. Contrary to L. does not convey any relevant information to Tim’s description of the band and their music, but modifies “this Irish tune” with a semi-hyperbolic term, introducing a stance. The corpus was first transcribed in Praat, using a standard orthographic transcription of tone-units, in which subordinate constructions were localised and coded on a separate track as, . “Rethinking Gesture Phases: Articulatory Features of Gestural Movement?” Semiotica 184 (2011): 53–91. 20In the traditional division of clause complexes into two uneven and complementary subgroups, i.e. 45The corpus was segmented in discourse sequences (i.e. 2As traditionally described in syntax and discourse analysis, modifiers in discourse subordination refer to elements specifying or elaborating upon some primary features, often described as additions associated to another propositional content in the host or embedding structure (Biber et al.
