Abstract
This paper is focused on description of hypotactic constructions (constructions with subordinating conjunctions) with “elaborative” meanings. In dependencybased linguistic literature, they are referred to as hypotactic coordinations or also (a subset of) false dependent clauses.
The analysis makes use of syntaxand discourseannotated corpora of Czech and English and thus offers an empirically grounded contrastive study of the phenomena.
