English Relativization Fragment

[KC77]

Two relative clause markers:

• Complementizer that/∅ with gap in NP_rel (-case, covers SU/DO)
• Relative pronoun who/whom/which/whose (+case, covers IO–OCOMP)

Data from [KC77] Table 1.

def English.relThat : RelativeClause.Marker

Complementizer that or zero (∅). NP_rel is deleted (gap). Covers subject and direct object relativization. E.g., "the man [that _ left]", "the book [∅ I read _]".

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def English.relWhom : RelativeClause.Marker

Relative pronoun who/whom/which/whose. Bears case marking (who/whom/whose distinguish nominative/accusative/genitive). Covers IO–OCOMP via pied-piping. E.g., "the man [to whom I gave the book]", "the man [whose book I read _]".

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def English.relMarkers : List RelativeClause.Marker

All English relative clause markers.

Equations

• English.relMarkers = [English.relThat, English.relWhom]

English relativization profile (typological summary). Gap + relative pronoun; P-stranding allows gap on obliques; can relativize all AH positions.

def English.Relativization.subjStrategy : RelativeClause.SubjStrategy

Equations

• English.Relativization.subjStrategy = RelativeClause.SubjStrategy.mixed

def English.Relativization.oblStrategy : RelativeClause.OblStrategy

Equations

• English.Relativization.oblStrategy = RelativeClause.OblStrategy.mixed

def English.Relativization.rcPosition : RelativeClause.RCPosition

Equations

• English.Relativization.rcPosition = RelativeClause.RCPosition.postNominal

def English.Relativization.lowestRelativizable : RelativeClause.AHPosition

Equations

• English.Relativization.lowestRelativizable = RelativeClause.AHPosition.objComparison
