Relative Clauses
In this chapter, we examine the typology of relative clauses. We will define relative clauses as follows: (1) A relative clause (RC) is a subordinate clause which delimits the reference of an NP by specifying the role of the referent of that NP in the situation described by the RC. Since the NP whose reference is being delimited is in the matrix clause, we will call it NP mat , and we will call...
متن کاملYet Another HPSG-Analysis for Free Relative Clauses in German
1The case specification on the gloss of the verb here indicates the verb’s case requirement on the NP realizing as the free relative clause. 2Two cases are defined to match in terms of case form iff either (i) they are identical or (ii) the forms of case-inflecting items of the person and gender in question are identical in both cases. (E.g. nominative and accusative match when the pronoun is i...

متن کاملAppositive Relative Clauses
The difference between restrictive and appositive relativization is usually represented in syntax as complementation versus adjunction with respect to the antecedent noun. Instead I propose that an appositive relative clause (ARC) is coordinated with its antecedent. This approach avoids problems that come with the adjunction analysis, and it predicts some interesting facts. First consider the s...
