exhibits cause and reason adverbial clauses, concessive adverbial clauses, additive
adverbial clauses, substitutive adverbial clauses and purpose adverbial clauses.

Participial adverbial clauses in Bhojpuri encode the sequential and simultaneous
temporal senses. The sequential adverbial clause indicates a temporal sequence in
clause chains whereas the simultaneous adverbial clause expresses an activity that is

simultaneous with or temporally overlapping with another activity expressed by the
matrix predicate.

Relative clauses in Bhojpuri include relativization of the grammatical relations
such as subject, direct object and indirect object as we observe cross-linguistically. But

Bhojpuri also exhibits oblique, possessive, instrument, source and locative cases
relativized. Clause chaining in Bhojpuri includes chains of same and different subjects of
the clauses. Coordinated or conjoined clauses in Bhojpuri exhibit conjunctive,

disjunctive and adversative relationships among the conjoined clauses. The concepts
of rejection and clausal coordination are also found to be conjoined in Bhojpuri.
