Subordinating conjunction #

Universal #

Definition from de UD website

A subordinating conjunction is a conjunction that links constructions by making one of them a constituent of the other. The subordinating conjunction typically marks the incorporated constituent which has the status of a (subordinate) clause.

We follow Loos et al. 2003 in recognizing these three subclasses as subordinating conjunctions:

Complementizers, like [en] that or whether Non-ADV markers that introduce an adverbial clause, like [en] because, since, before, or once (when introducing a clause, not a nominal) Non-pronominal relativizers, like [he] še. Words in this category simply introduce a relative clause (and normally don’t inflect). This excludes words that have a nominal function within the relative clause; relative and resumptive pronouns (e.g., English relative that and which) are analyzed as PRON. For coordinating conjunctions, see CCONJ.

Examples

• that as in I believe that he will come.
• if
• while
