Manner clauses are dependent clauses expressing the way in which the event in the main clause is realized. An example of a manner clause (within squared brackets) in English is the following: ‘Carla sewed the trousers [as her mother taught her]’. In this sentence, the sentence-final manner clause, which is introduced by the subordinating morpheme ‘as’, clarifies the way in which Carla carried out the event of sewing.
