| dc.description.abstract | Drawing from Kayne (1994a), this chapter shows that Headed Relative Clauses and Factive Clauses in Pulaar are built from similar structures. Both display word order similarities, and in each case the complementizer, which is homophonous with the determiner, agrees with the (null or overt) head NP in Spec,CP. The verb form is also the same in Headed Relatives and Factive Relatives, and it undergoes the same agreement pattern. Furthermore, Headed Relatives and Factives in Pulaar both exhibit island constraints such that extraction out of either construction is impossible; this indicates that they all involve movement of some sort. The difference between these constructions is that the Headed Relative has an overt head noun whereas Factives have null head nouns. | |
