Abstract

Temporal subordinate clauses are introduced by temporal conjunctions like nachdem (‘after’), seit (‘since’), bevor (‘before’) and others. Depending on their conjunction, they can express a positional or a durational meaning, and they function as temporal adverbials in their matrix clause. Thus, the temporal subordinate clauses — or short: TEMPORAL CLAUSES — in (1.1a, c, e) function analogously to the temporal adverbials in (1.1b, d, f), respectively.
