	Literary Stylistics Notes no. 12 by Ismail S Talib: Clause Complexing 1
		In relation to the study of clause complexing, it may be useful to revise some of the factors considered in the analysis of the clause.
		Clause complexing or the clause complex are Halliday's terms for the arrangement in a sentence of clauses (which, unlike the complex sentence, do not necessarily form a dependent relationship to the main clause).
		If the secondary clause in a clause complex is controlled by a verbal or mental process, then we are dealing with projection, which may be either paratactic or hypotactic.

	Complex Sentences Guidelines
		When the dependent clause falls at the end of the sentence, the importance of the dependent clause to the meaning of the sentence determines whether or not commas are used to separate the dependent clause from the independent clause.
		Dependent clauses that are introduced by subordinating conjunctions, or by the relative pronoun "that" are usually essential to the meaning of the sentence.
		Dependent clauses that are introduced by the other relative pronouns may be either "essential" or "non-essential," depending on the content of the clauses involved.

	Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, a clause is a group of words consisting of a subject and a predicate, although, in non-finite clauses, the subject is often not explicitly given.
		A clause is either a whole sentence or in effect a sentence-within-a-sentence.
		Dependent clauses are often classified by which part of speech they function as: a noun clause functions as a noun, an adjective clause functions as an adjective, and an adverb clause functions as an adverb.

	Online Writing Lab - Clauses
		A dependent clause begins with a subordinate conjunction, so if you recognize the common subordinate conjunctions, you will be able to determine if a clause is dependent or independent.
		A clause is a group of words in a sentence that explains more about the core parts of the sentence.
		A dependent clause is a group of words that cannot stand by itself, but needs an independent clause to make a sentence.

	Using Clauses as Nouns, Adjectives, and Adverbs
		In this case, the clause could not be a sentence by itself, since the conjunction "because" suggests that the clause is providing an explanation for something else.
		Dependent clauses can stand not only for adverbs, but also for nouns and for adjectives.
		Like a noun, a noun clause acts as the subject or object of a verb or the object of a preposition, answering the questions "who(m)?" or "what?".

	Phrases and clauses: A ten minute tour
		A clause is a group of words containing at least a subject and a verb (the baby ate), and frequently it lets its hair down by containing some kind of a complement as well (the baby ate the goldfish).
		A dependent clause has a subject and a verb, and looks exactly like an independent clause except for one small thing: it is introduced by either a relative pronoun or a subordinating conjunction, which makes the clause grammatically "dependent" on the rest of the sentence.
		Dependent clauses as nouns: Dependent clauses used as nouns can be introduced either by a relative pronoun or by a subordinating conjunction (that, whether).

	Business English
		Dependent clauses have subjects and verbs, but they depend on other clauses for the completion of their meaning.
		Dependent clauses are often introduced by subordinating conjunctions.
		Within a sentence, dependent clauses that interrupt the flow of a sentence and are unnecessary for the grammatical completeness of the sentences are set off by commas.

	Dependent Clauses
		When a speaker or author wishes to connect two clauses together when one clause is to be subordinate to another, it is possible to combine the two clauses into a single, complex sentence and express the dependency by introducing the dependent clause with a subordinating conjunction.
		The dependent clause is a complete thought "Quintus enters the field" but the use of "when" shows its dependency upon the main clause, "Flaccus calls him".
		These clauses describe the action of the verb in the clause the dependent clause is subordinate to.

	Clauses: the Essential Building-Blocks
		Relative clauses are dependent clauses introduced by a Relative Pronoun (that, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, and of which).
		In a relative clause, the relative pronoun is the subject of the verb (remember that all clauses contain a subject-verb relationship) and refers to (relates to) something preceding the clause.
		The ability to recognize a clause and to know when a clause is capable of acting as an independent unit is essential to correct writing and is especially helpful in avoiding sentence fragments and run-on sentences.

	Dependant Clauses and Phrases
		An independent clause, by contrast, can stand alone as a sentence, or it can be combined with one or more other clauses or phrases to form a complex sentence, through the proper use of punctuation and conjunctions.
		Dependent clauses left standing alone are often referred to as sentence fragments.
		A phrase is different from a dependent clause because unlike the dependent clause it generally lacks a subject.

	Lesson 22
		Dependent clauses are fragments that must be completed by joining up with independent clauses.
		If in doubt whether a clause is independent or dependent, try adding a tag question like "doesn't it?" or "isn't it?" If the resulting question makes sense to you, the clause is independent.
		In other words, dependent clauses are created simply by placing one of the so-called subordinating conjunctions in front of an independent clause.

	Dependent Clauses
		Dependent clauses function as a part of speech in relation to the independent clause.

	Compound-Complex Sentences Guidelines
		Each dependent clause must be linked with an independent clause to complete its meaning; therefore, the first step in building a compound-complex sentence is to link each of the dependent clauses to the specific independent clause that it relates to.
		The second dependent clause ("although he ignored the doctor's advice and refused to take the prescribed medication") relates to the second independent clause ("he complained about not getting better").
		Each independent clause, along with any dependent clauses that are linked with it, is treated as a single unit to be joined with the other independent clause units.
