Abstract:

A complement clause is used instead of a noun phrase; for example one cansay either I heard [the result] or I heard [that England beat France].Languages lacking complement clauses employ complementation strategies toachieve similar semantic results. Detailed studies of particular languages,including Akkadian, Israeli, Jarawara, and Pennsylvania German, are framedby R.M. W. Dixon's introduction, which sets out the range of issues, andhis conclusion, which draws together the evidence and the arguments.
