The volume presents the results of an international project carried out in cooperation between the Uppsala University, the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Lund University and the University of Gothenburg. The questions put forward in the project were: How is hypotaxis marked in Semitic, other than by conjunctions? How does this affect the organization of texts? More specifically, what constitutes a circumstantial clause? To find an answer to these questions, all the major Semitic language families and some modern spoken Semitic dialects were surveyed within the project. Thus, Clause Combining in Semitic: The Circumstantial Clause and Beyond examines how different kinds of clauses combine to a text in a number of Semitic languages (Ethio-Semitic not included). Specifically, many of its chapters examine how circumstantial clauses are coded in individual Semitic languages.

"...This volume [is] an important landmark in Semitic linguistics and probably also in wider frameworks. For the Hebraist this is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the position of the circumstantial clause within the clause complex, in particular to view the circumstanstial clause, one of the most important phenomena in biblical narrative, in the vista of various types of Arabic texts." --Frank H. Polak, Tel Aviv University, Review of Biblical Literature 7.28.16
