Turkish relative clauses

Turkish relative clauses precede their head and their verb is a participle, -(y)En when the head is the subject and -DIK otherwise, with the subject of the clause in the genitive. With the relativized position left empty this relativizes subjects through obliques. Below that a pronominal element is retained, a possessive suffix on the head noun for genitives and a stressed pronoun for objects of comparison, the latter with reduced acceptability. The data are [KC77]'s.
