A comparative study of complementizer semantics in European languages. It focuses on semantics, but related issues such as the syntax, morphology and diachrony of complementizers, and their omission and combination are also discussed. It also contains contributions from experts of individual languages and language families. Complementizers may be defined as conjunctions that have the function of identifying clauses as complements. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that they have additional functions. Some of these functions are semantic in the sense that they represent conventional contributions to the meanings of the complements. The present book puts a focus to these semantic complementizer functions.
