1. 第15回　応用言語学講座公開講演会 Uses of ‘insubordinate’ or ‘suspended’ clauses in spoken Finnish RitvaLaury University of Helsinki 共催：Nagoya-de-Socio（NDS)研究会 後援：国際言語文化研究科・応用言語科学研究者育成プロジェクト 日時：3月4日（月）5:30～7:00pm.場所：名古屋大学東山キャンパス, 全学教育棟北棟406室 交通案内:地下鉄名城線「名古屋大学駅」①番出口徒歩5分※使用言語：英語 It has been observed for a range of languages that clauses considered subordinate in grammars are also used independently, without any main clauses (for Japanese, see e.g. Ohori 1996; 2000; Nakayama & Ichihashi-Nakayama 1997; Suzuki 1999; 2011; Higashiizumi 2006; for a typological overview, see Evans 2007). Finnish is one of the languages which manifests such a phenomenon. All three subordinate clause types, complement clauses, adverbial clauses and relative clauses are frequently used in spoken Finnish without any associated main clauses (Koivisto, Laury & Seppänen 2011, Laury& Suzuki 2011, Laury2012, Laury & Helasvuofrthc.). In this paper, I will discuss the uses to which such clauses are put in ordinary Finnish everyday conversations,as well as the forms of such clauses, and will also briefly consider their relationship to those subordinate clauses which do occur with main clauses.Selected References.Evans, N. 2007.
