Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will explore theoretical and empirical issues surrounding the syntax of relative clauses. We will discuss the main types of relative clauses (namely: restrictive, appositive, free relative and correlative) and their analyses. Topics that we will pay special attention to include the copy theory of movement, internal versus external merge, matching effects, case syncretisms, and reconstruction effects. Concomitantly, we will look at some of the main studies in the processing literature on relative clauses, focusing in particular on subject vs. object processing asymmetries.
