'as p, q’: this interclausal relation is very difficult to capture in a few words: p expresses the speaker's comment on the content of the matrix clause, typically with the aim of affirming the truth (and thus reliability) of q; e.g. p may identify the source of the speaker's information, or express agreement with somebody else's opinion (e.g. As (it) appears from her essay, she has read widely in English literature; As you said, George has no children; [German Wie in den Nachrichten gemeldet, hat sich die Regierung zu einer Sondersitzung versammelt. ''As reported in the news,Marker for the government assembled for a special meeting'])
