The author works within the Minimalist Program of syntactic theory. Adjunct Control is a relation of co-referentiality between two subjects, one in the matrix clause and one in the adjunct clause of the same structure. The relevant adjuncts in Assamese are non-finite clauses commonly known as Conjunctive Participle (CNP) clauses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eFour types of Adjunct Control are examined: (i) Forward Control, in which only the matrix subject is pronounced; (ii) Backward Control, in which only the subordinate subject is pronounced; (iii) Copy Control, in which both subjects are pronounced; and (iv) Expletive Control, in which case the two control elements are expletives. While Forward Control is a cross-linguistically common control pattern, Assamese also allows the other three less common structures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eThe author analyzes Adjunct Control as movement and provides a detailed account of the conditions that drive and constrain each of the four types of control. The theoretical implications are highlighted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eThe book is unique both empirically and theoretically. It is the first monograph which deals with Assamese generative syntax. It is also the first book to explore control structures in a single understudied language in such detail. In addition to Assamese, the book provides data from Telugu, Bengali, Konkani, Marathi, Tamil, and Hindi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783110238242\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Case of Assamese\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783110238242","offer_id":40562547228765,"sku":"9783110238242","price":169.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/f8efcc84-3ec9-4011-98d6-9792138f3f4b.jpg?v=1778043101","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/control-into-conjunctive-participle-clauses-von-youssef-a-haddad","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
