A note on some even more unusual relative clauses

Richard S. Kayne

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Relative clauses can be found that contain a relative pronoun whose antecedent is not the head of the relative. The familiar relation between the head of a relative and the relative pronoun can thus be seen as a special case of a more general relation between a relative pronoun (a stranded determiner) and its antecedent (whose movement has stranded that determiner). The piece of relative clause syntax that is the antecedent-relative pronoun relation is less specific to relative clauses that it might have seemed.
