• Clause Typing This work is part of a broader project on clause typing undertaken collaboratively with Raffaella Zanuttini. Our work on clause types begins from the following fundamental points: ∗This is part of a project funded by NSF grant BCS-0234278, ‘Clause Types: Form and Force in Grammatical Theory’, to Paul Portner and Raffaella Zanuttini. Miok Pak, and Simon Mauck, our collaborators on the project, have made many contributions.
