Dear colleagues,
I plan to start a morpho-syntactic and semantic research of so called adverbial relatives, i.e. place-, time-, manner-, and reason-relatives, illustrated by the following English examples: 1. a. I like the city where I was born b. I remember the year when the war started c. I admire the way (that) Peter plays the piano d. I want to know the reason why John went home so early Currently, I am in search of the following: - references on this topic (mainly concerning syntactic and semantic research but not excluding typological, acquisition, and other related kinds of research) - data from a number of typologically different languages I am interested mainly in the way these relative are morphologically introduced/expressed. As far as I have found out so far, such relatives may be introduced by (i) a corresponding wh-question-word, as in (1a); (ii) declarative complementizer, as in (1c); (iii) relative complementizer; (iv) resumptive strategy. Note that one language may combine these strategies even for one relativization-type. I will be grateful for any kind of information, brief or detailed. Speakers of less desribed languages are specially invited to contribute! For interested linguists, a more detailed questionnaire may be prepared. Please, send your references/data to this email address: r.simik@rug.nl |
