Thanks, Steven. But I don't see the clause *types* yet. I see the labeling
of clause *constituents*, but not clause types themselves. Might it be that
Quirk was referring to the constituents of clauses rather than clauses
themselves? For anyone wondering, this really will get back to Greek
constituents and clause types <g>
