Japanese Relativization Fragment

[KC77]

Two relative clause markers, both prenominal and unmarked (no relativizer, no relative pronoun):

• gap in NP_rel (-case, covers SU–GEN; OBL and GEN only for some NPs, OCOMP marginal)
• retained pronoun in NP_rel (+case, GEN only, and only for some NPs)

Data from [KC77] Table 1 and Table 2.

def Japanese.relGap : RelativeClause.Marker

Unmarked prenominal RC; NP_rel is deleted (gap). Covers SU–GEN (Table 1 p. 77: OBL and GEN carry split x/y entries — the strategy applies only for some NPs in those positions — and OCOMP is coded as not applying, though "the result is not judged too bad").

Equations

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

def Japanese.relRetention : RelativeClause.Marker

Unmarked prenominal RC with a retained pronoun in NP_rel. GEN only, and only for some NPs (Table 1 p. 77; Table 2 codes Japanese retention as absent above GEN): "occasionally, however, a pronoun may be retained when the NP_rel is genitive" ([KC79] p. 339, ex. (49) with retained zibun, citing Kuno).
