Abstract

Earlier (Old and Middle) Egyptian object complement structures are shown to form a hierarchy of increasing semantic integration with the matrix clause that directly corresponds to growing morpho-syntactic integration between the two. This is argued to provide a prima facie case of the so-called iconicity of cohesion that appears to be a major factor in organising the grammar of complementation in languages generally.
