A corpus study of clause combination

Abstract

We present a corpus-based investigation of cases of clause combination that can be expressed both through coordination or with subordination. We analyse the data with a two-step computational model which first distinguishes subordination from coordination and then determines the direction for cases of subordination. We find that a wide range of features help with the prediction, notably frequency of predicate participants, presence of adjuncts and sharing of participants between the clause predicates.
