This book explores the variety of types of complementation found
across the languages of the world and their grammatical properties and
meanings. It shows how languages differ in the grammatical properties
of complement clauses and in the types of verbs which take them, and
explores the complement strategies deployed by languages which lack a
complement clause construction. The book includes detailed studies of
particular languages, including Akkadian, Israeli, Jarawara, and
Pennsylvania German. These are framed by R. M. W. Dixon's
introduction, which sets out the range of issues, and his conclusion,
which draws together the evidence and the arguments.
