Basque Relativization Fragment

[KC77]

One relative clause marker: the invariable suffix -n at the juncture of a prenominal RC, with gap in NP_rel (-case, covers SU/DO/IO). Basque is the paper's witness that IO is a possible primary cut-off point — it "does appear to discriminate indirect objects from both its immediate neighbors on the AH" (§1.3.3 p. 72). Table 1 leaves OBL, GEN, and OCOMP blank (no data).

def Basque.relN : RelativeClause.Marker

Invariable relativizer -n marking the juncture of a prenominal RC; NP_rel (cross-referenced by a verbal affix) is deleted. Covers SU, DO, IO ([KC77] §1.3.3 p. 72, ex. (17); Table 1 p. 76). E.g., "emakumeari liburua eman dio-n gizona" 'the man who has given the book to the woman'.
