  In this article, we examine subordinate causal clauses headed by the declarative complementizer że ‘that’ in Polish. By comparing them with canonical causal clauses headed by ponieważ ‘because’, we argue that causal że -clauses function as speech act modifiers. The main evidence for this claim comes from: (i) movement to the left periphery of the matrix clause, (ii) variable binding, and (iii) sensitivity to material associated with the TP domain, CP domain, and the illocutionary force of the matrix clause. Additionally, we argue that they possess distinct discursive and semantic properties, i.e., they are non-at-issue and express epistemic causality. Diachronically, we provide evidence showing that że ‘that’, as a complementizer, has undergone semantic narrowing, leading to its restricted behavior at the syntax–semantics interface in Present-Day Polish, in contrast to inherent causal complementizers.

  In this article, I examine the external and internal syntax of instrumental ‘indem’-clauses in German. As a subordidating conjunction, ‘indem’ takes a finite TP as its complement and triggers verb final position. I provide evidence showing that instrumental ‘indem’-clauses can only operate on the content level and that they cannot be interpreted epistemically, nor can they modify a speech act. Furthermore, I argue that although ‘indem’-clauses are restricted to a particular interpretation, they can attach at two distinct heights in the matrix clause. If they are analyzed as central adverbial clauses, they attach as T[ense]P[hrase] adjuncts. If, on the other hand, instrumental ‘indem’-clauses are treated as peripheral adverbial clauses, they are taken to be J[udge]P[hrase] adjuncts. Main evidence for the analysis comes from: i) variable binding and Principle C effects, ii) movement to the left periphery of the matrix clause, and iii) licensing conditions of weak and strong root phenomena.

• Jedrzejowski, Lukasz (2025). On the synchrony and diachrony of causal jako-że-clauses in Polish. Linguistics Vanguard. s. 1–16. doi: 10.1515/lingvan-2021-0126. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  In this article, I examine causal clauses in Polish introduced by the complementizer jako że/iż ‘because’ (lit. ‘as that’). Synchronically, I argue that jako-że/iż-clauses can express distinct reason relations operating on different semantic levels. By focusing on their content interpretation, I provide evidence showing that jako-że/iż-clauses are syntactically integrated adverbial clauses. The main arguments for this claim come from information-structural movement to the left periphery of the matrix clause and quantificational binding. Diachronically, I show that jako could already be used as a causal C-head in Old Polish (up to 1543), and that the declarative complementizer że/iż ‘that’ was incorporated into the causal clause structure in the transition from Old to Middle Polish.

  A guide to principles and methods for the management, archiving, sharing, and citing of linguistic research data, especially digital data. “Doing language science” depends on collecting, transcribing, annotating, analyzing, storing, and sharing linguistic research data. This volume offers a guide to linguistic data management, engaging with current trends toward the transformation of linguistics into a more data-driven and reproducible scientific endeavor. It offers both principles and methods, presenting the conceptual foundations of linguistic data management and a series of case studies, each of which demonstrates a concrete application of abstract principles in a current practice.

  This book is dedicated to Ilse Zimmermann, who was a pioneer of Generative Grammar in Germany and made important contributions to the analysis of German and Slavic languages. It contains original articles by Zimmermann as well as newly written papers inspired by her work. Zimmermann's original articles cover a wide range of topics over a long period of research – the earliest dating from 1983 – and they make it clear that issues that are highly topical today have long been the subject of linguistic research. The newly written papers are closely related to Zimmermann's topics ranging from DP structure, verbal inflection and reciprocity to the modification of causative verbs, all from a Slavic perspective. They are rounded off by a contribution highlighting the leading role played by the Strukturelle Grammatik research group, of which Zimmermann was a member, in the development of linguistics in Germany.
