ClauseForm #

Surface clause-form distinctions relevant to word order.

ClauseForm is a syntactic form distinction (matrix question vs embedded question vs declarative) — what conditions inversion and other word-order alternations. Echo questions are not a constructor here; they are declarative-form sentences with question force in discourse, handled via Features.InformationStructure. Distinct from Core.Mood.ClauseType, which pairs illocutionary force with verbal mood. The two complement each other: a polar question has ClauseForm = matrixQuestion and Core.Mood.ClauseType = ⟨interrogative, indicative⟩.
