The Tsezic languages present a number of prima facie instances of insubordination, given current definitions of this phenomenon. For the purposes of this chapter, we base ourselves on the definition provided by Evans (2007: 367): “[Insubordination is] the conventionalized main clause use of what, on prima facie grounds, appear to be formally subordinate clauses.” While some instances of insubordination in Tsezic languages seem to illustrate typical instances, others present synchronic and diachronic issues that probe the phenomenon’s boundaries.
