  • More about Syntax of Relative Clauses: A Unified Analysis


Relative clauses play a crucial role in sentence structure, and this book provides the first evidence that a unified analysis of different types of relative clauses is possible. Cinque argues that all relative clause types can be derived from a single, double-headed structure, and presents evidence that restrictive, maximalizing, integrated, non-restrictive, kind-defining, infinitival, and participial RCs merge at different heights of the nominal extended projection. This book promises to revolutionize our understanding of relative clauses and has theoretical and empirical richness.

Relative clauses play a crucial role in analyzing the structure of sentences, and this book offers groundbreaking evidence that a unified analysis of different types of relative clauses is indeed possible. Through meticulous examinations of a diverse array of languages, Cinque demonstrates that all relative clause types can be derived from a single, double-headed structure. Furthermore, he presents compelling evidence that restrictive, maximalizing, (integrated) non-restrictive, kind-defining, infinitival, and participial relative clauses merge at varying heights of the nominal extended projection. This book represents a significant generalization about the structure of all relatives, offering both theoretical depth and empirical richness. It holds the promise of revolutionizing our understanding of this subject for years to come.
