Tagalog relative clauses #

Tagalog relativizes only the subject, the ang-phrase, so any other noun phrase is first promoted to subject by the voice system. The clause is joined to its head by the linker na, -ng after a vowel, with the relativized position left empty, and it may follow or precede the head. The paper counts Tagalog among its subjects-only languages on the assumption that the focus noun phrase is the subject, an assumption it discusses against Schachter's objections. The data are [KC77]'s.
