The syntax of coordination and subordination in different languages represents a fundamental and intriguing area of inquiry, encompassing the typological, formal, and functional dimensions of clause linkage across diverse linguistic systems. This research project seeks to delve into the intricate ways in which languages structure and connect clauses through coordination and subordination, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the universal and language-specific patterns of clause linkage and their implications for syntactic diversity.

The investigation will explore the theoretical foundations of coordination and subordination, considering typological perspectives on clause linkage, the formal and functional properties of coordinated and subordinated structures, and the semantic and pragmatic functions associated with these syntactic constructions. By examining the syntax of coordination and subordination in specific language families and cross-linguistic variations in clause linkage, the research project aims to elucidate the diverse strategies employed by languages to express complex relationships between clauses, offering insights into the universal constraints and language-specific patterns of clause linkage.

Methodologically, the research will adopt a comparative and typological approach, drawing on insights from theoretical syntax, typology, and linguistic analysis to investigate the syntax of coordination and subordination in different languages. The study will involve a cross-linguistic analysis of coordinating and subordinating structures, examining the formal, semantic, and discourse-functional properties of clause linkage across diverse language families and linguistic typologies. By investigating the syntax of coordination and subordination in different languages, this research aims to contribute to our understanding of the universal principles and language-specific patterns of clause linkage, shedding light on the diversity and complexity of syntactic structures across the world's languages.
