Presents a typology of subordination systems across the world's languages. Traditional definitions of subordination are based on morphosyntactic criteria, such as clausal embedding or non-finiteness. This book shows that these definitions are untenable in a cross-linguistic perspective, and provides a cognitively based definition of subordination.
