| Abstract | In this paper, we investigate to what extent the degree of transparency of a language (as defined in Hengeveld & Leufkens 2018) determines its system of complement clauses (CCs), both as regards the number of CCs a language has, and as regards the types of CCs it displays. The investigation of a sample of nine languages with different degrees of transparency revealsthat the more transparent a language is, the fewer CC types it displays, and the more their CCs are like main clauses. |
