It has been observed for a range of languages that clauses considered
subordinate in grammars are also used independently, without any main clauses
(for Japanese, see e.g. Ohori 1996; 2000; Nakayama & Ichihashi-Nakayama 1997;
Suzuki 1999; 2011; Higashiizumi 2006; for a typological overview, see Evans 2007).
Finnish is one of the languages which manifests such a phenomenon. All three
subordinate clause types, complement clauses, adverbial clauses and relative
clauses are frequently used in spoken Finnish without any associated main
clauses (Koivisto, Laury & Seppänen 2011, Laury & Suzuki 2011, Laury 2012, Laury
& Helasvuo frthc.).
In this paper, I will discuss the uses to which such clauses are put in ordinary
Finnish everyday conversations,as well as the forms of such clauses, and will
also briefly consider their relationship to those subordinate clauses which do
occur with main clauses.
