<b><a href="/glossary#adverbial-subordinator">Definition of Adverbial Subordinator</a></b><br>
<!--An adverbial subordinator is a morpheme such as "because", "although", "while" in English that links a subordinate clause to a main clause.  In this definition, "clause" is construed broadly to mean finite clause, non-finite clause, and gerund clause. We are distinguishing complementizers from adverbial subordinators. Complementizers are used with complement clauses or subject clauses (“I said that John left.â€), adverbial subordinators are used with adverbial clauses (“I was sad because John left.â€)<br>-->
