Adverbial time clauses in modern standard Lithuanian

Summary/Abstract: The article gives an overview of finite and non-finite adverbial clauses in modern standard Lithuanian and highlights the similarities and differences between them. Time clauses are classified with regard to the types of temporal relationship (simultaneity or sequence) and their grammatical marking. Special attention is given to such features as: agreement of tense forms in main and subordinate clause (this is characteristic of finite subordinate clauses, whereas non-finite clauses enjoy a relative freedom with regard to tense marking); obligatory subject deletion (in non-finite clauses, but also in certain finite types); agreement of aspect forms in main and subordinate clause; the use of subordinators and other syntactic markers of subordination; relative positioning of main and subordinate clause.
