Micro- and Macro-variation of Causal Clauses
This chapter is in the book Micro- and Macro-variation of Causal Clauses

Abstract

In this introduction chapter, we depict the variation of adverbial clauses focusing on causal clauses in German. We briefly overview the most important findings both from a synchronic and diachronic point of view, and embed them into a more general discussion on adverbial clause-linkage.
