On the basis of numerous Old English examples, we will try to demonstrate how hypotactic constructions come into being and what is the possible mechanism lying behind this process; one can speak of a hypotactic relation between two clauses when one of them is subordinate and the other is main, so in this sense the term subordinate clauses could actually be used interchangeably with the term hypotactic structures. We will concentrate upon the transition phase between parataxis and hypotaxis, which will allow us to see how hypotaxis was developing from parataxis in English.}, type={Article}, title={The emergence of subordinate clauses in Old English from paratactically conjoined structures}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/118331/PDF-MASTER/08_Kida.pdf}, }
