I would appreciate references to LFG & HPSG work on cleft & 
pseudocleft constructions and, especially, the related construction 
found in many languages, including Indonesian:

Pakaian yang saya beli.
clothes   REL   I        buy
"It was the clothes that I bought."

Sneddon's Indonesian grammar, from which this example is taken, calls 
these "identifying clauses."

thanks,
Steve
