Abstract
Abstract The distribution of fully inflected, partially inflected, and uninflected forms to some extent correlates with clause types. Most non-main (or dependent) clauses contain partially inflected and uninflected verbs (see Chapter 19 and Table 19.1, and §20.1.3). So do main clauses marked for non-declarative mood and modality values, and non-habitual declarative negative clauses.Fully inflected verb forms are the most complex of all. They allow the expression of categories which cannot be expressed in partially inflected or uninflected verbs.
