This paper aims to explore syntactic and semantic-pragmatic factors that influence the realization of the complementizer that and the alternation between that and zero complementizers. It shows that that is required in such complement clauses as the subject clauses, the coordinated clauses, the displaced clauses, or the clauses with non-case distinct subject selected by a ditransitive verb. That is also said to be present usually when the complement clause conveys a proposition asserted by the matrix subject or when its subject is the topic of utterance. The claim is then made that the alternation between that and zero complementizers is not a stylistic variant, now that that-clause is related to a prior discourse in some sense, while that-less clause is chosen when the truth of the complement clause is asserted. It is also shown that the syntactic and semantic integration of the matrix clause and the complement clause into one is more extensive in the lack of that
Abstract
This paper aims to explore syntactic and semantic-pragmatic factors that influence the realization of the complementizer that and the alternation between that and zero complementizers. It shows that that is required in such complement clauses as the subject clauses, the coordinated clauses, the displaced clauses, or the clauses with non-case distinct subject selected by a ditransitive verb. That is also said to be present usually when the complement clause conveys a proposition asserted by the matrix subject or when its subject is the topic of utterance. The claim is then made that the alternation between that and zero complementizers is not a stylistic variant, now that that-clause is related to a prior discourse in some sense, while that-less clause is chosen when the truth of the complement clause is asserted. It is also shown that the syntactic and semantic integration of the matrix clause and the complement clause into one is more extensive in the lack of that
