Being syntactically perhaps even more autonomous from clause structure than adverbials are, they are easily brought to some position preceding a declination component.
Such features can make the pseudocleft into a highly allusive vehicle for gently prefacing the declination component.
Component directions have similar declination but steeper inclination than directions observed in the sediments.
Such prepositioned expressions can be employed to gently set the tone for an upcoming dispreferred content without themselves performing a declination or disagreement.
This is denoted by the crosscorrelation coefficients between flowering and declination at both sites.
Therefore, in addition to delaying the occurrence of the declination component (or circumventing it altogether), the various components contribute to projecting the dispreferred action.
All these resources are collectively mobilized as par ts of the step-by-step formulation of the dispreferred response and for delaying and projecting the declination component.
This does not mean that their usage was always adultlike : they overgeneralized the adjective's declination suffix, and tended to produce verbs as infinitives.
