relative "that" again

[Herb Stahlke]

Paul,

Are you speaking of a shift from conjunction to relative pronoun?
Could you give some examples of usages from Scotland and Ulster that
would demonstrate this?  I'm interested because I've found it hard to
find examples that clearly show such a reanalysis.

Thanks,

Herb
