Tagalog Relativization Fragment #

[KC77]

Two relative clause markers, differing only in RC position (postnominal and prenominal); both use the linker na ~ -ng with gap in NP_rel (-case) and relativize only the subject (ang-phrase). Non-subjects are promoted to subject by voice alternation before relativizing.

Tagalog is one of the paper's subjects-only witnesses for HC₁/HC₃ (§1.3.1 p. 70), "on the assumption that the 'focus' NP is the subject" — an assumption the paper itself flags as contested (§1.4.1.1, discussing Schachter's critique).

Data from [KC77] Table 1.

def Tagalog.relLinkerPost :
RelativeClause.Marker

Postnominal RC with the linker na ~ -ng — K&C's "invariable particle ng" — NP_rel (the ang-phrase) deleted. Subjects only (Table 1 p. 79; [KC79] p. 347 ex. (110), from [SO72] p. 123).

    def Tagalog.relLinkerPre :
    RelativeClause.Marker

    Prenominal RC with the linker na ~ -ng; NP_rel is deleted. Subjects only. "Restricting clauses can sometimes, especially when short, be presented to the left of the head ... a second RC-forming strategy" ([KC79] p. 347, ex. (111)).
