Complementizer Semantics in European Languages

This book presents the first comparative study of complementizer semantics in European languages. The focus is on semantics, but related issues such as the syntax, morphology and diachrony of complementizers, and their omission and combination are also discussed. The book contains contributions from experts of individual languages and language families. Both formal and functional approaches are represented, and more than 40 languages are covered.
