Abstract: This article provides a detailed survey of complement clauses and complementation strategies in Japhug. It shows the bewildering diver- sity of constructions attested in these languages, which are largely unpre- dictable and need to be specified for each complement-taking verb. Special focus is given to typologically unusual constructions, in particular Hybrid Indirect Speech. Keywords: Japhug; Reported Speech; Complement clauses; Infinitive; Participle; Serial Verb Constructions; Causative; Motion Verbs Introduction Japhug, like other Gyalrong languages, has a complex verbal morphology and a rich array of complement clauses. Building on previous research, in particular Jacques (2008, 337-356) and Sun (2012), this article presents a detailed survey of all known types of complement clauses in Japhug and their distribution among complement-taking verbs.
