Satu2.doc Extraposition and Restrictive Relative Clauses SATU MANNINEN 1 Introduction In this paper, I investigate the construction found in English and a number of other languages in which the nominal “head” of a relative clause becomes separated from the rest of the relative clause by intervening material (the so-called relative clause extraposition construction).1 The basic pattern in illustrat

Even though they are written within the framework of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995; 1999; 2000), they differ in some basic assumptions concerning what needs explaining and what the phrase structure is.

This is the title of my paper Syntactic autonomy and result clauses* JONATHAN R. WHITE, HÖGSKOLAN DALARNA Abstract In this paper I look at whether the syntactic properties of the result clause construction in English can be predicted from its semantic properties. I adopt the semantics of Meier (2000, 2003) which treats the construction as having a hidden conditional meaning. The structure she prop
