DOI: 10.1558/equinox.20173

Blurb:

In this concluding chapter we go beyond the clause in two different ways. First, it is in texts that clauses or complexes of clauses are realized as sentences. Text has structural properties that are rooted in the clause, but stretch across clauses and clause complexes These properties are summed up under the category of cohesion. Second, the lexico-grammar of the clause and of its constituents has been seen to involve an alignment of semantic categories and realizatory lexico-grammatical categories.
