<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In generative syntax, '''clause union''' is a process which reduces a clause containing an embedded clause to one simplex clause by eliminating the [[clause]] structure of the embedded clause. <br />
<br />
===Comment===<br />
This (as yet undefined) process is supposedly triggered by auxiliary-like [[verb]]s (e.g. certain [[modal]]s, [[causative]]s and [[perception verb]]s) in Germanic and Romance languages. <br />
